WHO WE ARE

We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to Serve the World Flavor since we first opened in 1994, and we’re just getting started. 1997 saw the opening of our first brand partner operated Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry. 

Above all else – our success is largely due to our people and our core values, or what we call The Wingstop Way of being entrepreneurial, service-minded, fun, and authentic. We believe having a strong people foundation centered on these collective values creates a crave-worthy culture and talented team, as well as ensures our brand is poised for accelerated growth. We all win together.

 

WHAT WE'LL NEED

We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. Our mission is to Serve the World Flavor by building a best-in-class restaurant system powered by strong operators, disciplined execution, and consistent guest experiences.

Franchise Partnership and Influence

  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with Brand Partners

    • Training 

    • Supply Chain 

    • Finance 

    • Technology

  • Provide field-based insights to inform enterprise decision-making 

What Success Looks Like

  • Sustained improvement in Same Store Sales across portfolio 

  • Reduced variability between high- and low-performing restaurants 

  • Consistent execution of brand standards 

  • Strong adoption and execution of enterprise initiatives 

  • Effective QBR cadence and structured business routines 

  • Clear accountability and follow-through from Brand Partners

 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

  • 4–7 years of multi-unit restaurant operations experience, preferably in a franchise environment 

  • Strong operational expertise with the ability to diagnose and resolve performance issues

  • Proven ability to influence without direct authority 

  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills

WHO YOU ARE

No job is too small. You recognize that the real work happens in the restaurants, and everything we do should support their success. You stay humble, roll up your sleeves, and always look for ways to help. You learn from others and contribute wherever you can.

You care deeply about doing great work and driving results. You’re curious, ask questions, and seek out opportunities to improve. You don’t just point out problems—you bring solutions, ideas, and perspectives that move the team forward.

You take full responsibility for your work and see things through to completion. You aren’t afraid to fail because you know that failure is a part of learning and growth. You take action, move fast, and keep pushing forward.

You lead with empathy, respect, and emotional intelligence. You collaborate effectively, fostering a culture of trust and constructive feedback. You understand the importance of teamwork and ensure that your actions build others up rather than break them down.

You push yourself and others to be better. You embrace healthy conflict, knowing that great ideas and strong teams emerge from honest, constructive conversations. You believe that leaders create leaders and are committed to fostering a culture of growth, challenge, and continuous improvement.
