PUT YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL IN YOUR HANDS

We are very excited about our exceptional incentive program developed to reward the hard work and of our managers.

Golden Corral Operating Partners are rewarded each month with an incentive bonus.

WHAT DOES YOUR FUTURE HOLD?

At Golden Corral, we believe the success of our business is driven by the TALENT and SUCCESS of our people. Our managers are rewarded through our unique Operating Partner Program with opportunities for higher income potential and future franchising opportunities.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

Since there are no limits to bonuses, as the performance of the restaurant increases, so does your total compensation. As an Operating Partner, your monthly bonus percentage increases in Years 1 and 2. In Year 3, you have the opportunity to become the franchisee of your own restaurant or receive an additional increase to your bonus incentive.

  • A participant must be employed by Golden Corral Corporation in the position of General Manager at a company-operated restaurant for a term of one year in the restaurant for which he or she will serve as Operating Partner.
  • Participants must meet operating standards and financial results.
  • The Operating Partner will enter into an Operating Partner agreement and pay a $25,000 refundable security deposit. When you become a franchisee, the refundable Operating Partner security deposit may be invested toward franchising your restaurant.
