International Business Expansion & Store Operations Manager (“IBESOM”)

In the IBESOM program candidates will experience all aspects that make Supermac’s successful. For example, in our restaurant’s the IBESOM provides overall leadership to the store, setting goals and objectives to drive each aspect of the business performance. The IBESOM directly supervises store personnel and sets out a plan for each of them to ensure each person contributes to the store performance. The IBESOM conducts business on a daily basis as if acting as an individual owner. This leadership is critical to the success of the IBESOM program and Supermac’s vision to expand into international markets with personnel long experienced in our business. IBESOMs can rely on support from the Operations Manager and Area Manager when needed to facilitate alignment of goals with that of the overall company, however, the IBESOM largely dictates the specific location leadership. Within that scope falls many key functions such as hiring, staff motivation, training, health & safety, community involvement, inventory control, labor control, etc.
