Director of Talent Acquisition for Fourteen Foods Dairy Queen and Truce Restaurants | Multi-Unit, Multi-State Talent Strategy Expertise | I Improve… Truce will be launching in April of 2026. Our flagship location will be in Franklin, TN. Join the movement!
Truce is built on the belief that real food, integrity, and purpose can ignite a movement. We’re creating a new kind of restaurant. One that proves convenience and uncompromised quality can coexist. We set out to build a concept that refuses to choose between speed, authenticity, and extraordinary flavor and quality. At Truce, there are no compromises.
Our mission is to change the way our Guests eat by serving chef-crafted meals made from wholesome, all natural, seed‑oil‑free ingredients prepared with heart and sourced with purpose. We believe people deserve food that matches their ambition, their values, and their pursuit of a better life.
Food should fuel your best life, and that belief is baked into everything we do. From house‑made dressings and sauces to fresh‑baked breads and pastries. Truce is our answer to those demanding more. More honesty, more flavor, more care, and more purpose in every bite. This is a brand built for people who feel a fire for purpose‑driven work, who believe great food can change lives, and who want to be part of something that stands for more.
Truce is led by owner and CEO Matt Frauenshuh, an industry veteran who grew a small family of seven restaurants into over 250 locations across 14 states.
Matt knows how to build from the ground up, how to take risks with confidence, and how to roll up his sleeves to make a vision reality, and he’s assembling a team to do it again.
We’re seeking trailblazers with that same spirit: courageous, entrepreneurial, ready to hustle, and energized by the chance to help shape a brand destined to disrupt the industry. If this mission speaks to you and your lifestyle, your values and your drive, let’s build this together!
Position Summary Truce is launching its flagship location in Franklin, TN, and we’re searching for an entrepreneurial, results‑driven Managing Partner to build, lead, and scale this new premium fast‑casual brand. This leader will set the standard for all future locations.
Our expectation is simple: the first Truce should feel like our 100th. Not our first. You will be the primary operational and cultural driver of the restaurant, ensuring flawless execution, exceptional food quality, legendary hospitality, and strong financial performance from day one.
Operational Excellence
Deliver uncompromising food quality, safety, and speed across all day parts.
Lead high‑throughput drive‑thru operations without sacrificing accuracy or product integrity.
Optimize kitchen workflow for dine‑in, takeout, digital, and drive‑thru channels.
Use data to eliminate bottlenecks, improve wait times, and elevate guest experience.
Build and enforce scalable SOPs aligned with our clean‑ingredient, no‑seed‑oil, scratch‑kitchen standards.
Maintain allergen, sanitation, and food‑safety protocols that exceed regulatory expectations.
Marketing & Brand Building
Create a warm, premium guest experience rooted in legendary hospitality.
Protect and champion our clean‑ingredient promise: nothing artificial, no seed oils, GMO‑free.
Serve as the face of the flagship—telling our story and strengthening guest loyalty.
Build community presence and drive local‑store marketing, events, and partnerships.
Hire, train, and develop Managers and Team Members from the ground up.
Lead a hospitality‑driven culture built on love, generosity, humility, excellence, and character.
Develop future leaders through mentorship and continuous coaching.
Ensure mastery in service execution, product knowledge, and scratch‑kitchen operations.
Own the full P&L—driving sales, managing labor/COGS, and protecting premium standards.
Use metrics (throughput, ticket times, waste, productivity, menu mix) to improve performance.
Refine scalable systems that will serve as the blueprint for future Truce locations.
Partner with leadership to prepare the brand for multi‑unit expansion.
Skills & Experience
5+ years General Manager experience in a high‑volume fast‑casual or polished casual environment.
Scratch kitchen experience required; nearly all Truce recipes are made in‑house.
Successful track record opening restaurants or significantly growing a concept.
Experience managing multi‑channel operations, especially drive‑thru.
Strong P&L management, forecasting, inventory control, and scheduling skills.
Passion for clean, health‑forward food and delivering legendary hospitality.
Proven ability to build high‑performing teams with strong cultural alignment.
Entrepreneurial, competitive, and energizing leadership style.
Valid driver’s license, background check, ABC permit, and ServSafe certification.
