Job description

Welcome to The Beefy Boys, the burger empire of your dreams – where the patties are juicy, the buns are fresh. We’re a fast-paced, rapidly growing burger joint on a mission to become the greatest burger restaurant in the entire galaxy.

We’ve spent years delving deep into the world of burgers. For us, there’s no such thing as a “just a cheeseburger.” Oh no, we’re talking about a universe of patties: from thick, juicy 6oz steakhouse delights to crispy diner-style smashburgers, and even the oh-so-filthy Oklahoma-style patties that’ll have you questioning your entire existence.

Now, we’re on the hunt for a Restaurant Manager who is ready to lead a team with passion, enthusiasm, and a flair for creating an unforgettable customer experience. If you can handle the heat in the kitchen and the fast pace of the front of house, then we want YOU.

What You Need:

• Host with the Most: Whether you’ve got a queue of 100 or a packed house, you’ll be the one keeping the vibe unbeatable. With a welcoming smile, you’ll manage the flow like a pro, making sure everyone feels like VIPs, no matter how busy it gets. You’ll optimize every square inch of the floor plan, getting guests seated with speed and precision, while making sure the atmosphere stays as lit as the grill. Your goal? Make sure no one’s waiting too long and everyone’s having the best time possible, no matter what the numbers say!
• Lead the Charge: At your site, you’ll be the one bringing the team together – recruiting, onboarding, and training them to be their best. You’ll inspire them to bring their A-game every day, leading by example and keeping the energy high, all while ensuring everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
• Customer Service Excellence: We treat every customer like they’re your mate coming over for a BBQ. From keeping drinks full to making sure the food is always on point, you’ll keep the vibe fun and make sure everyone leaves happy!
• Financial Savvy: Keep an eagle eye on the numbers – from maximizing sales to reviewing labour costs, you’ll ensure the business is running efficiently and profitably.
• Operational Management: If something’s broken, can you fix it? Whether it’s managing food wait times or handling customer expectations, you’ll make sure everything runs smoothly.
• Inventory & Supply Chain Boss: You’ll stay on top of stock levels, know what’s in the walk-in, and ensure that all deliveries arrive as expected. You’ll know exactly who to call if something’s missing!
• Team Performance & Development: You’re great at recognizing talent and providing feedback. You’ll support your team to grow, celebrate their successes, and help them improve where needed.
• Get It Done Attitude: It’s a fast-paced, intense environment, but if you thrive under pressure and never lose sight of the details or standards, we want you leading the charge!

What You’ll Get:

• Quarterly Bonus: Treat yourself to something special with a little extra cash in your pocket every quarter.
• Free Food on Every Shift: Fill up on delicious, mouthwatering food – because who doesn't love a free burger?
• Career Progression: The sky's the limit! There’s always room to grow and climb the career ladder with us.
• Discounted Dinner: Impress your friends by bringing them along for a discounted meal – because great food is even better shared.
• Annual Staff Summer Festival: Let loose and party hard with the team at our legendary staff summer bash.
• Staff Away Days: Get ready for fun-filled adventures and team-building days that are anything but boring!
• 28 Days Paid Holiday: Take a break when you need it and enjoy 28 days of paid holiday to recharge.
• Pension Contributions: Rest easy knowing you're set for the future with company pension contributions.
