Regional Manager

About 7 Brew and Delight Restaurant Group

At 7 Brew, we serve more than just coffee — we’re brewing connection, culture, and community at high speed. Every stand is built on energy, authenticity, and service that leaves a lasting impression. Our mission? Build people up, pour into communities, and deliver unforgettable experiences — one cup at a time.

Delight Restaurant Group currently owns +230 Wendy’s and Taco Bell’s and will become one of the largest 7 Brew franchisees in the next 5 years. The Regional Manager will play a key role in ensuring successful new stand openings. Delight has a strong meritocratic culture. Top performers have the opportunity to grow into a Director of Operations and beyond.
