Job description

Management Opportunities – Bristol
Restaurant Managers & Assistant Managers

Bristol, we're growing! And we're looking for our next generation of leaders. Big plans. New restaurants. More opportunities.

We're growing across Bristol, with a brand-new restaurant opening in early 2027 and seven existing locations in and around the city. That means one thing. We're looking for brilliant people to grow with us.

Whether you're an experienced Restaurant Manager who knows how to run a slick operation, or an ambitious Assistant Manager ready to take that next step, we want to hear from you.

We're building our management teams across Bristol, and this could be your chance to be part of something big.

What’s in it for you?

Let’s start with the good stuff. This is a big role in a fast-growing business — and we make sure you feel the benefit of that.

• Up to £15,000 annual bonus potential for Restaurant Managers, paid twice a year. Based on operating profit, personal performance and business measurables
• Clear progression opportunities – grow your career with us, not just your CV
• WHOPPERCON! - invite to our annual Burger King conference including awards, overnight stay, dinner and dancing!
• THRIVE at BK – our internal learning platform to put you in control of your development
• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• Hundreds of retail discounts from brands you want to use
• 70% off food and drink for you and up to five of your friends and family
• £1,000 referral bonus when your friends join us in management
• Stream – access your pay when you need it, not just on payday
• 10% off a national gym chain
• Cycle to Work scheme
• One paid volunteering day each year
• Free mortgage advice
• Employee Assistance Programme – confidential support whenever you need it
• Pension scheme to help build your future

And it’s not just us saying it’s a great place to work.
We’re proud winners of the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2025, with employee engagement scores 6% higher than the industry average. That means our people feel heard, supported and set up to succeed — and we work hard to keep it that way.

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.

The opportunity

At Burger King UK, we believe great restaurants start with great people.

As part of our restaurant management team, you'll lead from the front, drive performance and create a place where people love to work — and guests love to come back to.

You’ll:

• Lead from the front — inspire, coach and develop your team to be their best
• Be guest-obsessed — deliver brilliant experiences and high standards, every shift
• Think commercially — drive sales, manage costs and make smart decisions
• Build winning teams — create an energetic, inclusive culture where people can thrive
• Develop future stars — spot potential, grow talent and help others take their next step
• Own it — take responsibility, make things happen and run your restaurant like you own it

Whether you're leading your own restaurant or supporting your Restaurant Manager, you'll have real responsibility, plenty of variety and the opportunity to make an impact.

And with our continued growth across Bristol, there's never been a better time to join the crew.

What we're looking for

Restaurant management isn't easy — and you already know that. You've got experience leading teams in a fast-paced environment, you're commercially aware and you know how to get the best out of people.

You're confident, resilient and not afraid to roll your sleeves up. You bring energy, positivity and a can-do attitude, even when things get busy. Most importantly, you put people at the heart of everything you do.

If you can balance high standards with high morale, and know how to put the fun into functional, you'll fit right in.

Ready to make your move?

With a new restaurant on the horizon and opportunities across Bristol, we're looking to connect with talented managers who want to be part of our next chapter.

You don't need to know exactly which opportunity is right for you just yet.

New restaurants. Big opportunities. Your next move.
