We’re proud winners of the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2025, with employee engagement scores 6% higher than the industry average. That means our people feel heard, supported and set up to succeed — and we work hard to keep it that way.

This is it. The big one. Your chance to step into a role with real impact in a business that’s growing faster than you might expect.

The role

As a Restaurant Manager, you’ll run your restaurant like you own it. You’ll lead from the front, build a high-performing team, and create a place where people love to work — and customers love to come back to.

You’ll:
• Lead, coach and develop your management team and crew
• Own your P&L and drive sales and profitability
• Deliver brilliant standards, every shift, every day
• Control costs, hit targets and keep things moving fast
• Create an energetic, inclusive culture where people can be their best

You’ll also be focused on developing stars — coaching your managers, growing talent and creating clear pathways for people who want more. When your team wins, you win.

It’s fast-paced, high-energy and hands-on — but you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be supported every step of the way.

What we’re looking for

Restaurant management isn’t easy — and you already know that. You’ve got experience running a busy operation, making smart commercial decisions, and stepping in when it really counts.

You’re confident, people-focused and not afraid to roll your sleeves up. You bring positivity, pace and a can-do attitude, and you genuinely enjoy helping others grow. If you know how to put the fun into functional, you’ll fit right in.

Ready to join us?

If you’re looking for a role with real responsibility, proper progression and rewards that actually mean something — it might be time to swap crews and join ours.
