Wendy’s Offering $100K for Chief Tasting Officer

Mar 6, 2026, 5:47 PM

Wendy’s may have just posted the ultimate job listing.

Does getting paid to scarf down burgers and dip fries into your Frosty sound like a dream gig?

You could be the CTO for Wendy’s. You could be their Chief Tasting Officer.

The job is 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.
