About Wonder

Everything’s on the menu at Wonder. Except compromise.

The Wonder app is the premiere platform to feed every craving, all in one order. Our 25+ award-winning restaurant partners span every cuisine you can think of, from Greek to Thai, and come from the minds of the best chefs in the industry—Bobby Flay, José Andrés, Marcus Samuelsson, and more.

And our diners don’t have to choose just one : they can mix and match dishes from as many Made by Wonder restaurants as they’d like, or order from neighborhood gems near them. Everything is made to order at our brick-and-mortar locations across the East Coast and delivered fast and free, and more locations are opening every week.

The best in the business are coming to Wonder, working every day to make us the destination for every mealtime moment. Join a team of technology, culinary, and logistics pioneers, backed by top-tier venture capitalists, and help us make great food more accessible.

About the Role

As an Operations Leader at Wonder, you are accountable for running the four walls of your location. You will lead end-to-end execution across kitchen, service, fulfillment, and customer experience, ensuring your location operates at peak performance in every shift. This is not a support role—this is the person who owns the daily results.

You will master internal operations to keep your location running smoothly, consistently, and profitably.

  • Execute against daily labor plans and food cost targets
  • Manage inventory levels, waste reduction practices, and labeling standards

  • Ensure compliance with federal and state labor laws
  • Grow the Business

  • Support company talent pipelines by coaching and developing team members daily, building readiness for talent promotion as the business expands
  • Train and certify team trainers, ensuring they are prepared to support new store openings and deliver consistent onboarding to new hires
  • Actively mentor and coach managers-in-training, preparing them for potential transfers or leadership roles at other locations
  • Serve as a hands-on role model leader, modeling company values and reinforcing performance standards that promote personal and professional growth
  • Partner with the Senior Operations Leader to align workload initiatives, projects, staffing, scheduling, and team development to support current operations and prepare for future expansion
  • Lead execution of pilot programs, provide actionable feedback, and help shape best practices for company-wide rollout
  • Who You Are

  • A high-accountability operator with 2+ years of experience managing shift operations in food service, retail, hospitality, or a similar setting
  • Confident leading teams and executing complex shifts in fast-paced, customer facing environments
