District Manager — My Burger

Twin Cities, Minnesota | $90,000–$100,000 Base Salary + Quarterly Performance Bonuses

Build great people. Build great restaurants. Help build a great company.

At My Burger, we believe the best way to grow a restaurant company is to grow the people who make it great.

We're a locally owned, family-rooted Minnesota burger company with big ambitions, a growing footprint, and a genuine passion for hospitality. We make days better with burgers—and we know that starts with the people behind the counter.

We're looking for a District Manager who wants more than the responsibility of overseeing restaurants. We want someone who loves developing leaders, understands how to build a profitable business, and is excited to have a meaningful hand in shaping the future of a growing company.

If you've ever wanted to do more than execute someone else's playbook, this might be your opportunity.

Why My Burger?

Your voice matters here.

You'll join a small, tight-knit leadership team with direct access to ownership and executive leadership. Your ideas won't have to travel through layers of corporate bureaucracy. You'll have a voice in the decisions we make, the systems we build, and the direction we take.

We're growing, and you can help build what's next.

You'll have opportunities to contribute beyond your district, including new restaurant openings, companywide initiatives, and helping shape the next chapter of My Burger.

Autonomy with accountability.

We trust our leaders to lead. You'll have the freedom to organize your work, make decisions, solve problems, and take ownership of meaningful results. We care about what you accomplish and the people you develop—not micromanaging your every minute.

An opportunity to share in the value you help create.

As a privately held company, My Burger has a history of offering select Home Base leaders options to purchase company shares. Potential future equity options may be available for successful long-term leaders, subject to company approval and applicable terms.

A team that genuinely cares.

We're a close-knit group of restaurant people who believe in working hard, supporting one another, having honest conversations, and recognizing great work. We take our business seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

What You'll Do

You'll lead 5–6 My Burger restaurants throughout the Twin Cities, developing General Managers and driving results across three equally important pillars.

PEOPLE — Develop leaders who develop great teams.

• Coach General Managers to become confident, capable business leaders.
• Build strong management teams and develop future leaders.
• Create a culture of accountability, recognition, and continuous improvement.
• Recruit, retain, and develop outstanding restaurant leadership.
• Give honest feedback, celebrate progress, and help people overcome challenges.

PROFIT — Own the numbers and drive results.

• Lead district performance across sales, profitability, labor, food costs, and controllable expenses.
• Teach General Managers to understand their financial performance and make smart business decisions.
• Identify opportunities to grow sales, improve efficiency, and strengthen profitability.
• Establish clear goals, measure results, and follow through on commitments.
• Balance short-term performance with the long-term health of our people and business.

OPERATIONS — Make great restaurants even better.

• Ensure consistent food quality, hospitality, cleanliness, and guest experiences.
• Maintain high standards while empowering General Managers to own their restaurants.
• Identify challenges, develop solutions, and take responsibility for implementing improvements.
• Partner with our Home Base leadership team on companywide initiatives and operational innovation.
• Support new restaurant openings and continued company growth.

Who You Are

You might be an experienced District Manager at a national brand, a multi-unit leader from a smaller company, or an exceptional General Manager ready for your next challenge.

What matters most is how you lead.

You're a people developer. You find genuine satisfaction in helping others grow. Your success is measured not just by what you accomplish, but by what your teams become capable of accomplishing.

You take ownership. You don't wait for someone else to solve a problem. You get curious, build a plan, take action, and follow through.

You're willing to grow. You're confident enough to make decisions and humble enough to recognize when there's a better way. You welcome feedback and are willing to change your approach.

You understand the business. You know how people, hospitality, operations, and financial performance work together.

You think like a business owner. You look beyond today's challenges and identify opportunities to make the entire company stronger.

What We're Looking For

• Proven restaurant leadership experience, ideally in quick-service or fast-casual restaurants.
• Demonstrated success developing managers and building high-performing teams.
• Strong understanding of restaurant financials, including P&L, labor, food cost, and sales performance.
• Excellent communication, organization, coaching, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to independently manage priorities and consistently deliver results.
• Willingness to travel between Twin Cities restaurants and work some evenings and weekends.
• Multi-unit experience preferred, but exceptional single-unit leaders ready for the next level are encouraged to apply.

Compensation & Benefits

We believe in rewarding great leadership and investing in our people.

• $90,000–$100,000 annual base salary, depending on experience and qualifications.
• Performance-based bonus opportunity.
• Potential future equity options, subject to company approval.
• Medical insurance, with My Burger covering 50% of the premium for our designated base plan.
• Dental and vision insurance options.
• 401(k) with a 3% company match, subject to plan terms.
• Three weeks of paid time off at hire, increasing to four weeks after one year.
• Mileage reimbursement at the applicable federal business mileage rate.
• Additional wellness benefits, including access to River Health, subject to plan eligibility.
• Professional development and opportunities to contribute to company expansion.

Work-Life Balance Matters

We're restaurant people, but we're also people with families, friends, and lives outside of work.

We aim to organize this position around a five-day workweek, with flexibility in how you manage your responsibilities. Restaurants operate nights and weekends, and great leaders need to be present when their teams need them. Some weeks will require additional time or days.

Our goal is to build leaders and teams that succeed without constant intervention—not to celebrate how many hours someone works.

Our Values

At My Burger, we make days better with burgers.

Growth: We strive to get 1% better every day, develop others, and recognize achievements.

Hospitality: We take pride in our work, our restaurants, and the way we make people feel.

Teamwork: We support each other, step up when needed, and succeed together.

These values shape how we treat our guests, our teammates, and one another.

Ready to Build Something?

We're looking for someone who wants to make a difference—not just maintain the status quo.

If you love restaurants, believe people are the foundation of a great business, and want the opportunity to help shape a growing company, we'd love to meet you.

Come help us make days better with burgers.
