Job description

About Us

At Boparan Restaurant Group (BRG), we’re a family-run powerhouse in UK hospitality with nine diverse brands and 100+ restaurants. We’re passionate about food, innovation and creating memorable dining experiences. Each brand is unique, but our culture is united—fun, ambitious, and relentlessly forward-thinking.

As we continue to expand both in the UK and internationally, we’re strengthening our commercial finance team with someone who loves being close to operations, shaping decisions, and supporting impactful change.

The Role

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in the detail but loves being out in the business, partnering with operational leaders and making a real difference to performance.

You will :

• Work hand-in-hand with our Heads of Operations to influence key decisions at pace and provide real-time commercial insight.
• Deliver clear, actionable analysis that drives operational improvements and boosts profitability.
• Create, refine, and manage reporting that supports confident decision-making across multiple brands.
• Produce weekly P&Ls and performance reporting for senior leadership and the wider group.
• Support the Head of Commercial Finance with business cases for new openings and strategic initiatives.
• Lead financial analysis around menu development, brand profitability, and cost performance.
• Conduct margin, sales and operational deep dives to identify opportunities for efficiency and growth.
• Partner with the management accounts team to align on monthly reporting and performance outcomes.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modelling to guide our operational strategy.
• Develop clear action plans to support cost-saving programmes and operational changes across the estate.
• Provide commercial support to the Head of Franchise for UK and international growth.

About You

You’re someone who is as comfortable on the restaurant floor as you are in a spreadsheet—commercially sharp, hands-on, and confident in influencing senior stakeholders.

You will bring :

• Strong operational awareness, ideally gained in hospitality, retail, or multi-site environments.
• Excellent communication skills, able to translate financial insight into clear actions for operators.
• Confidence working with Directors and Heads of Operations to challenge, influence, and drive improvement.
• Exceptional organisation and time management, with the ability to balance quick-turnaround tasks with longer-term projects.
• High accuracy and attention to detail in reporting and analysis.
• A collaborative mindset, supporting colleagues and working cross-functionally.
• Part Qualified Accountant status (or working towards it).
• Advanced Excel skills.

What’s in it for you?

We believe in offering more than just a job—this is a career opportunity with exciting rewards :

• Feast on Savings: Enjoy 50% off your total bill for you and five friends across all our brands.
• Exclusive Discounts: Access special offers from thousands of retailers and restaurants through our BRG Spark App.
