Description

We are seeking a Vice President of Franchise Operations to lead, strengthen, and scale our franchise system. This executive will be responsible for driving unit-level performance, improving franchisee profitability, and building a disciplined, accountable field organization.

This is not a maintenance role. We are looking for a leader who understands franchise economics, knows how to build trust with franchisees while holding high standards, and can translate strategy into consistent execution across the system.

The VP of Franchise Operations will oversee field operations, franchise business consultants, operational standards, and performance management across all franchised locations.

Key Responsibilities

Franchisee Performance & Profitability

  • Drive same-store sales growth and unit-level EBITDA improvement across the system
  • Analyze and optimize labor, food cost, and operational KPIs

  • Partner with franchisees to develop business improvement plans

Field Leadership

  • Build a coaching-first culture while maintaining performance discipline
  • Ensure consistent execution of brand standards across all locations

Operational Excellence

  • Standardize and simplify operating procedures and playbooks
  • Drive improvements in food quality, speed of service, guest experience, and compliance
  • Partner with Supply Chain, Marketing, and Training to ensure alignment
  • Support successful new unit openings and operational readiness

Franchisee Relationships

  • Serve as a senior point of contact for key franchise groups
  • Build credibility and trust while holding firm to brand standards
  • Support franchise advisory councils and system-wide communication

Growth & Scalability

  • Collaborate with Development on site selection and pre-opening execution
  • Ensure operational infrastructure can support new unit growth
  • Build scalable systems that reduce variability across markets

What Success Looks Like

  • Improved unit-level economics and franchisee profitability
  • Higher franchisee satisfaction and stronger system alignment
  • Reduced variability in operational execution
  • Improved compliance and audit scores
  • A strong, accountable, and high-performing field team

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of multi-unit restaurant operations experience
  • 5+ years in franchise operations leadership
  • Proven track record of improving same-store sales and margin performance
  • Experience leading field teams across multiple regions
  • Strong understanding of franchise agreements and franchisee dynamics
  • Ability to balance relationship-building with operational discipline
  • Data-driven decision maker with strong financial acumen

Preferred

  • Experience in PE-backed or growth-stage restaurant brands
  • Experience in turnaround or underperforming systems
  • Multi-brand or national franchise exposure
