Brent H., General Manager, previously manager with Burger King ® says:

“I’ve been around the food business so I knew Inland Restaurants had a good reputation. The deciding factor for me was that they respect that we have families and a life outside of Wendy’s. When you prove that you can run a restaurant, you earn a great deal of flexibility and freedom. They make it easy for us to succeed, it’s black and white with no grey areas expectation wise. They have an open door policy and offer huge support. Passion for the customer: a lot of other companies preached this but do not deliver. My passion for the customer and business is easier to deliver when the company shares the same passion.”


Samantha T., General Manager,
previously manager with Mark ’s ® says:

 
“I like having the responsibility of the restaurant, both good and bad. You are given the freedom to run the restaurant your way. Yes, there are systems in place but my influence is felt throughout. All the resources are given to you; it’s up to you whether or not you make the most of them. While other QSR’s are cutting back, Inland Restaurants is willing to put more and more into the restaurants to get to the level where we want to be. We do not compromise on our food and labour if it means serving the customer better. You can go to school to learn management but this is the best way to learn – hands on. I’m learning every day. As a group of general managers, we are encouraged to solve problems together. The support is there for us. Inland Restaurants is at the top when it comes to the standards for service and product. We may look the same but we aren’t. ”


Joe P., General Manager, previously manager with McDonald’s ® & Denny’s ® says:

“Previously, I found corporate store style to be very strict and tight; they don’t have the same customer service any more. It’s all about the numbers. During my Wendy’s interview, I asked “What is your philosophy; what is your number one priority?”. Lots of people talk about cost controls but that didn’t come up. It was all about customer awareness and taking care of them.”
