Okay, let’s tackle this. So Jim Wood has 45 years of experience in the restaurant industry, which is a long time. He’s managed multiple Burger King locations, which is a significant responsibility. Skills like multi-unit management, franchising, and team building are valuable, but the industry average for restaurant managers in the US is around $40–$60 per hour. Considering his experience, I’d estimate his rate to be on the lower end of that range, around $75 per hour.
