Most restaurant executives didn&#8217;t start out where they are now. Take, for example,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mooyahfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-brand-c-suite-executives-want-to-offer-growth-from-within-1206" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes</a>&nbsp;CEO Rich Hicks, who started at the bottom working as a dishwasher. Because of his journey up the ranks, Hicks is now encouraging his front-line employees to follow their dreams and pursue the same path to success. &#8220;We encourage that type of succession planning in growth and development,&#8221; he told QSR. &#8220;I have numerous examples of team members that have started at the hourly level and have worked their way through the ranks and are leading as general manager.&#8221; Hicks is joined by <a href="http://www.toppersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-brand-c-suite-executives-want-to-offer-growth-from-within-1206" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Toppers Pizza</a> founder and CEO Scott Gittrich, who started out as a delivery driver, and now holds a C-level executive spot. Toppers has a notable system that hires store managers and area managers from within the organization by making note of high-performing employees. &#8220;Somebody has to tell them,&#8221; Gittrich was quoted as saying by QSR. &#8220;College kids who worked for me say they&#8217;re graduating and going to get a real job. I take them to lunch and say this is a real job.&#8221; The problem isn&#8217;t a lack of ambition or work ethic, he said. It&#8217;s just that many front-line employees view their restaurant job as a temporary gig. Nader Masadeh also shares this sentiment. The CEO of <a href="http://ownabuffalo.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-brand-c-suite-executives-want-to-offer-growth-from-within-1206" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings</a> believes that promoting from within the franchise system empowers and inspires others to do the same. &#8220;The loyalty factor is high,&#8221; he told QSR. &#8220;Morale is high. ... There&#8217;s nothing more demotivating than bringing somebody from the outside to manage.&#8221; Read more by clicking <a href="http://www.qsrmagazine.com/human-resources/ladder-success?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-brand-c-suite-executives-want-to-offer-growth-from-within-1206" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.
