  • Put the customer first in everything you and your teams do, driving service excellence and guest feedback
  • Ensure food quality standards support our ambition to be the most loved QSR brand
  • Work closely with Chicken HQ teams to access the support and expertise needed to move your restaurants forward
  • Implement and maintain operational policies, procedures and standards across all locations
  • Monitor and analyse financial performance, budgets and cost controls to drive profitable growth
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives to enhance operational effectiveness and deliver best-in-class results

What you’ll have done

  • Strong experience and a proven track record in a multi-site hospitality business, ideally within QSR or casual dining
  • Experience operating flagship, high-volume restaurants in Central London or similarly high-profile trading environments
  • A strong understanding of what excellent looks like in flagship QSR operations, with the ability to balance pace, standards, service and commercial results
  • Excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities
  • Lead by example, live and breathe an epic guest experience, and consistently drive KPIs
  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills, with the ability to motivate, inspire and develop teams
  • Extensive experience recruiting, developing and talent planning within your restaurant teams
  • Demonstrated ability to analyse financial performance and make sound commercial decisions
  • Strong knowledge of regulatory compliance and safety standards

  • Company car scheme
  • Benefits platform, including gym discounts and cycle to work
  • Career progression opportunities
  • Private healthcare
  • Life assurance
