Job description

Yard Sale Pizza is on the search for a Deputy General Manager to join our amazing team.

In return you will receive a competitive base salary up to £34,000 per annum plus a generous bonus and excellent benefits!

Who are we?

Yard Sale Pizza fired up the oven in 2014, starting with weekly supper clubs from our backyard in Hackney.

We now offer delivery, dine-in and takeaway in 15 of our favourite neighbourhoods.

Known for our collaborations, we’ve teamed up with illustrators, musicians, international chefs & local eateries- all on the quest for the perfect pie!

We’ve won London’s most-loved restaurant in Time Out’s 2016 Love London awards, were awarded Best Cheap Eats in the Observer Food Monthly Awards in 2017, and were voted London’s favourite pizza in Time Out’s inaugural Clash of the Slices in 2022.

We’re a young and fast-growing company who offer plenty of career progression for hard working and talented individuals.

Walthamstow – set in a beautiful old glass factory – opened in January 2017 and was our first shop with an actual yard (well, we say ‘yard’, its more of a deck!).

Our biggest shop to date, Walthamstow is a real hit E17ers, serving up our infamous pizza for dine-in, takeaway and delivery.

What will I be doing?

Supporting the General Manager in all aspects of running the shop during peak, busy shifts.

Running your own shifts in the General Managers absence.

Keeping the team motivated and bringing great energy to each and every shift!

Managing customer expectations, always going above and beyond.

Assisting with weekly reports, shop orders and team appraisals and development.

What are we looking for?

Someone who has at least one years’ experience as a Deputy Manager, ideally within a fast-paced, casual dining setting.

Someone who has great knowledge of both food hygiene and health and safety procedures.

An enthusiastic team leader and motivator who is a real people person with exceptional interpersonal skills.

It would be advantageous if you have previously worked within a takeaway setting.

An ambitious individual who would love to progress to a General Manager in the near future!

What's on offer:

Monthly bonus which is based on KPIs (after probation is passed)

40-hour contract, we love to promote a great work-life balance!

28 days holiday.

Christmas Closure.

Loads of room for progression!

Uniform and other merchandise to celebrate your milestones working with us.

Free pizza on shift and brilliant discounts for family and friends across all sites!

Staff parties throughout the year.

Cycle to work scheme.
