Our Store Managers, on average, have been with the company for over 13 years and average in excess of $85,000 in total compensation per year. In addition to the Store Manager position, there are three additional levels of restaurant management positions: 2nd Managers, 3rd Managers, and 4th Managers. Average annual compensation for these levels of management: 2nd Managers - $45,000/ year, 3rd Managers - $38,000/year, 4th Managers - $31,000/year. In addition to cash compensation, all managers enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including paid vacations, a 401K program, and medical, dental, vision, life, and travel insurance coverage.

…not quite six figures;) almost though, still unbelivable
