Job description

What You’ll Need:

• Step into the Head Chef’s Shoes: When the Head Chef’s off-duty, you’ll take the reins and run the kitchen like it’s yours. You’ll make sure every dish is cooked to perfection, while keeping the kitchen safe, clean, and tight on health and safety standards. Whether it’s managing food safety or keeping everything in order, you’ll ensure the crew’s on point and the vibe stays high while we pump out top-quality food, no matter what.
• People Skills Like a Boss: You’ll be the leader of the pack— recruit, onboard, develop, inspire, leading from the front, and show them how it's done!
• Food Excellence: Every dish is your masterpiece. We’re not just serving burgers; we’re sending it to the world burger championships finals. Every burger needs to be perfect; if it’s not 10/10 then it’s not getting far!
• Operational Wizardry: Can you fix it if it’s broken? Can you manage food wait times and keep customers smiling? If you’ve got the magic touch for finding solutions, we’re all in!
• Stock and Supply Guru: You’re on top of every ingredient, every sauce, and every bun. You know what’s in the walk‑in, and you definitely know who to call if something goes AWOL.
• People Developer Extraordinaire: Tough love is your secret weapon. You’re great at having those “real talk” moments, celebrating the rockstars, and pushing them to be the very best version of themselves.
• Get Stuff Done Attitude: It’s fast, it’s intense, and it’s never boring. If you thrive under pressure and can keep your cool without sacrificing quality or attention to detail, we’re looking for you!

What You’ll Get:

• Quarterly Bonus: Treat yo’ self! Grab a little something extra every few months to splurge on whatever you want (within reason… we're not paying for a private jet).
• Free Food: Did someone say FREE BURGERS? Yep, you get to stuff your face with our delicious creations every shift.
• Career Growth: The sky’s the limit! We’ve got tons of opportunities for you to climb that ladder and become the burger mogul you were always meant to be.
• Discounted Dinner: Impress your mates with a meal out and enjoy discounts while you’re at it! Good food, great company, and even better savings.
• Annual Staff Summer Festival: Ready to party? Our epic staff summer festival is your chance to let loose, dance, and make unforgettable memories.
• Away Days Full of Fun: Join us for staff away days packed with fun activities that are all about team bonding, adventure, and having a blast outside of work.
• 28 Days Paid Holiday: Need a break? Take 28 days off (because even burger‑flippers deserve to rest and recharge)!
• Company Pension: Chill out about your future while we make sure your retirement's looking pretty sweet.
