Restaurant Manager

JDK Management Company
Allentown, PA

Founded in 1958 as a single pancake house in Ohio, Perkins has transformed into the nation's leading family restaurant. Through the years, Perkins has remained true to its mission of providing guests with friendly service and classic comfort dishes at a great price. Sure, Perkins started with dozens of pancakes and waffle options, but soon enough we grew to offer American staples like breakfast all day, hearty steak plates, juicy burgers, and a wide selection of handcrafted handhelds, soups, and salads. The most iconic piece of Perkins Bakery is, you guessed it, our pie!

At Perkins, we take great pride in our service, experience, and feeding folks what they like. It's the cornerstone of our company and the thing that keeps us going after all these years. With nearly 300 company-owned and franchised locations in 32 states and two Canadian provinces, we're pretty proud of how far we've come. Perkins American Food Co. is franchised by JDK Management Company - a family of hospitality and service companies since 1982.
