Restaurant Flammen – About Us

Restaurant Flammen is a family-owned restaurant chain with its roots in Denmark, built around our generous grill buffet. Our first restaurant opened in 2009, and today we operate 20 restaurants across Denmark.

In spring 2026, we took the next step in our journey and opened our first Swedish restaurant in Halmstad. Now, our expansion in Sweden continues, and this winter we’re opening our second restaurant – right in the heart of Jönköping.

At Restaurant Flammen, our guests enjoy a generous grill buffet with a wide selection of meats, sides and salads, all served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our ambition is simple: everyone should feel welcome and have a great experience when they visit us.

And we have big plans for Sweden. In the long term, our ambition is to open at least as many restaurants here as we have in Denmark. Would you like to help build Restaurant Flammen Jönköping from the ground up and become an important part of our continued growth journey in Sweden?

Who You Are

We’re looking for a driven, confident and committed Restaurant Manager who wants to take responsibility for the launch and continued development of our new restaurant in Jönköping.

As Restaurant Manager at Restaurant Flammen, you’ll have overall responsibility for the restaurant’s daily operations, performance and team. You lead with energy and clarity, build a strong team and create the conditions for consistently great guest experiences.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring that the restaurant achieves its targets in areas such as sales, labour costs, food costs and guest satisfaction. At the same time, you’re a hands-on and visible leader who enjoys being part of the daily operation and developing both people and ways of working.

Ahead of the opening, you’ll play a central role in building the restaurant together with us – from recruiting and training your team to establishing routines, culture and preparing for opening day.

As part of your introduction, you’ll also get to know the entire Restaurant Flammen operation and how we work, from front of house to kitchen. You’ll also have the opportunity to train alongside our experienced colleagues before the opening in Jönköping.

We believe you have previous experience leading teams within the restaurant industry, ideally as a Restaurant Manager or in a similar leadership role. You’re confident in planning and team leadership, have a strong understanding of the financial side of running a restaurant, and are motivated by developing both people and the business.

What We Offer

• A key role in opening Restaurant Flammen’s second restaurant in Sweden
• The opportunity to build the restaurant and your team from the ground up
• An important role in Restaurant Flammen’s continued expansion in the Swedish market
• A family-owned company with short decision-making processes and a lot of heart
• A strong and proven concept backed by the experience of our 20 restaurants in Denmark
• A workplace where you can grow as Restaurant Flammen continues to grow in Sweden
• Fair working conditions in line with the applicable collective agreement

Would you like to be there from the beginning as we ignite the next Flammen in Sweden?

We look forward to hearing from you!
