We are looking for talented individuals to help grow and oversee our operations across the UK, working closely with kitchens and brands to change the landscape of the restaurant industry. You will travel to our network of third party delivery kitchens to ensure that our franchisees are operating smoothly and cook our food to high standards, and well as helping our kitchen partners maximise their success through strategic support and management. We are looking for someone who is willing to get hands-on, train kitchens and able to communicate professionally with customers, as well as being interested in the commercial aspects of running a business and optimising for success.
