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.
This is your moment.
If you're ready to step up, take more ownership and grow fast in a business that's growing even faster - this could be the role that changes everything.
The role
As an Assistant Manager, you're a key part of the leadership team. You'll support your Restaurant Manager to run the restaurant like you both own it - driving results, setting standards and building a team that's proud of what they do.
This is a hands-on, high-energy role where no two days are the same. You'll be right in the action, leading shifts, supporting your crew and making sure every guest leaves happy.
You'll:
• Lead from the front on shift, setting the pace and the standard
• Support the Restaurant Manager with sales, costs and performance
• Be guest-obsessed - delivering brilliant experiences, every visit
• Coach, develop and motivate your team to be their best
• Help create a positive, inclusive culture where people love to work
• Step up and take charge when it really counts
And here's the big one: when we're looking for our next Restaurant Managers, we look to our Assistant Managers first. If you're ambitious and ready to grow, this role is your launchpad.
What we're looking for
Being an Assistant Manager isn't easy - and you already know that. You've got experience in a fast-paced environment, confidence leading people, and the drive to keep things moving forward.
You're people-focused, commercially aware and not afraid to roll your sleeves up. You bring energy, resilience and a can-do attitude - and you genuinely enjoy helping others grow.
If you can balance high standards with high morale, and you know how to put the fun into functional, you'll fit right in.
Why join us?
We've got big plans - new openings, industry-leading development and real progression opportunities. You'll be supported, challenged and given the tools to build a career, not just do a job.
When your team wins, you win. And when you're ready for more, we'll be right there with you.
Ready to step up?
If you're looking for responsibility, progression and a chance to grow as fast as we are - it might be time to swap crews and join ours.
