Does getting paid to scarf burgers and dunk fries into your Frosty sound like a dream gig?
Wendy’s may have just posted the ultimate job listing.
The fast-food chain is hunting for a “Chief Tasting Officer” — a fully remote role that comes with a $100,000 paycheck and one very important responsibility: eating Wendy’s food and talking about it.
And in case you’re checking calendars to see if April’s already here, the company insists this isn’t a joke.
“YES, THIS IS REAL,” the now-viral listing declared in all caps.
The job promises a lifestyle many fast-food fans might envy: taste-testing menu items, creating social media content and potentially starring in ads — all while sharing opinions about the chain’s burgers, fries and Frosty-friendly snacks.
The qualifications are intentionally simple. Wendy’s says applicants basically need a working mouth, some personality and the ability to talk about food with more enthusiasm than just saying it tastes good.
In other words, if you’ve ever confidently dipped a fry into a Frosty and called it gourmet, you may already be overqualified.
“Get paid to eat because it’s not like your parents know what you do anyway,” the listing quips.
The role also comes with a few more unconventional benefits, including “A job AI can’t steal because… no mouth duh,” “$100,000 (yes, actually)” and “A Wendy’s-approved amount of chaos (controlled, but still chaos).”
Beyond taste testing, the company says the chosen candidate will help shape the brand’s online personality — filming vlog-style taste tests, weighing in on food trends and bringing their own flavor to the Wendy’s social presence.
Applicants must submit a video explaining why they deserve the title, ideally while showing off their tasting chops — and maybe a little creativity.
“Were you the first person to dip a fry into a Frosty? Are you the coolest person in the friend group? Have you rizzed up an entire room of suits and lived to tell the tale? Tell us!” the posting urges.
For anyone tired of spreadsheets and meetings, the job listing suggests there’s a simpler path forward.
As previously reported by The Post, fast-food heavyweights from McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s have been locked in a juicy battle over who serves the best burger — and the beef is getting personal.
Wendy’s own U.S. president Pete Suerken recently joined the fray this week, chowing down on an Applewood-smoked Double Baconator on camera while tossing some thinly veiled shade at rivals from the Golden Arches and the Home of the Whopper.
The exec paired the stacked sandwich with fries and a vanilla Frosty — and couldn’t resist one more dig.
“Is this set up today? Oh wait, our machines are always working,” he quipped while pouring the frozen treat into a cup, a cheeky swipe at McDonald’s long-mocked ice cream machines.
It’s the latest flare-up in a fast-food feud that shows no signs of cooling down.
From coffee clashes to fried chicken sandwich showdowns, major chains have spent the past few years trading barbs — and burgers — in a never-ending fight for fast-food bragging rights.
The current burger battle kicked off in February, when Chris Kempczinski, CEO of McDonald’s, went viral after unveiling the chain’s towering Big Arch Burger online — carefully nibbling the massive sandwich while referring to it, somewhat ominously, as “the product.”
