Love the buzz of a busy service, but ready to get your evenings back?

This is your chance to take ownership, build a team you’re proud of and see your hard work reflected in the results - with a performance bonus of up to £6,000 and no late nights.

Already running a busy operation? Or an ambitious Assistant Manager or Kitchen Manager ready for more responsibility? We’d love to hear from you.

A role you can get stuck into

You’ll be at the centre of the action: leading a busy service, coaching someone through their first shift and making sure every order leaves the kitchen just as it should.

You’ll bring front and back of house together, set clear standards and create an atmosphere where people pull together and customers want to return.

Alongside the day-to-day operation, you’ll take ownership of the numbers—growing sales, controlling costs and turning a busy business into a profitable one.

What’s in it for you?

* £35,000-£38,000 basic salary, plus a performance bonus up to £6,000

* No late nights, giving you more room for life outside work

* Your birthday off, paid

* Free meals while on shift

* Ongoing training, development and opportunities to progress

* Retail and lifestyle discounts

* Cycle to Work and technology purchase schemes

* Company pension

* Employee Assistance Programme and Death in Service benefit

What you’ll take ownership of

* Leading, recruiting and developing a confident, motivated team

* Delivering consistently great food and friendly, efficient service across the restaurant and takeaway

* Managing business performance, including P&L, stock, ordering and labour costs

* Keeping food safety, cleanliness and health and safety standards high

* Supporting both the kitchen and front of house when service gets busy

* Spotting opportunities to improve the operation and putting your ideas into action

Sound like you?

You’re practical, positive and happiest when you’re involved. You can keep a team focused during a rush, tackle problems calmly and give people the support they need to do a great job.

Your background could be in QSR, fast food, a busy takeaway, or a food-led pub or restaurant. You might already be a General Manager or Restaurant Manager, or be an Assistant, Deputy or Kitchen Manager ready to step up.

What matters is that you bring:

* Experience leading a team in a fast-paced food business

* Confidence supporting kitchen operations and working across front and back of house

* A good understanding of costs, budgets and what drives profitability

* High standards for food quality, customer service and food safety

* The drive to take responsibility, develop your people and move the business forward
