Wendy’s: Serving up the best hamburger around, made with fresh, never frozen beef, since 1969.
About us
Wendy's was founded in 1969 by Dave Thomas in Columbus, Ohio. Dave built his business on the premise, “Quality Is Our Recipe®”, which remains the guidepost of the Wendy's system. Wendy's is best known for its made-to-order square hamburgers, using fresh, never frozen beef*, freshly-prepared salads, and other signature items like chili, baked potatoes and the Frosty® dessert. The Wendy's Company (Nasdaq: WEN) is committed to doing the right thing and making a positive difference in the lives of others. This is most visible through the Company's support of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® and its signature Wendy's Wonderful Kids® program, which seeks to find a loving, forever home for every child in the North American foster care system. Today, Wendy's and its franchisees employ hundreds of thousands of people across more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide with a vision of becoming the world's most thriving and beloved restaurant brand.

"As an HR Manager living and working in London, when people ask about my job, I explain that I enable Wendy’s international markets to grow and expand through People – from planning and finding to coaching and developing. I grew up in the United States, which is where I began my career journey with Wendy’s. In 2021, I was offered a temporary HR assignment to support the brand’s expansion into the UK. That assignment eventually became permanent, and I loved it here so much that I moved to London to continue supporting the market. Since then, I’ve met my (now) husband and built a whole life I could never have imagined. This new life started with an opportunity from Wendy’s, and I’ll be forever grateful for this experience. Human Resources is a complex discipline, because people are complex. Then when you layer in other cultures and norms, my job deals me new challenges every day. I really like proving to myself that I can do difficult things well and nail it on the first try. People really are the magic at Wendy’s. We are a magnet for values-driven people who want to do things the right way and win the right way as a team. We're also a friendly bunch, but make no mistake – we're super competitive too! Being a Wendy’s brand ambassador comes with quite a bit of responsibility. Whether I’m interviewing a job candidate or meeting new people who could become customers, I have an opportunity to shape Wendy’s reputation as we become more of a household name abroad. And I love that!" Jen Mellor, Manager, HR

"As a Division Quality Manager at Wendy’s, I’m responsible for food safety, food quality and regulatory compliance in 1,500 U.S. restaurants across 10 different states. Today is World Food Safety Day, but we like to say that every day is Food Safety Day at Wendy’s! We are continuously focused on accelerating food safety innovation and helping our System embrace a culture of food safety through education and training. One of the most important parts of my job is training restaurant teams and franchisees on the food safety practices that are embedded throughout our processes, procedures and equipment. And the best part of my job is building relationships with our franchisees while helping them strengthen their commitment to building a food safety culture within their organizations. We always say the first two letters in Wendy's are “we” and I’m proud of our collective commitment to quality. "Quality is Our Recipe" isn’t just a slogan in our restaurants. We also care about our customers – and that begins with our food. We strive to serve the safest, freshest, highest-quality food every day. That’s our standard and it’s non-negotiable. This commitment, combined with our organization’s set of values, makes me proud to represent the Wendy’s brand!" - Maggie Silliman, Division Quality Manager
