About

Working as part of the UK Operations team, you'll play a pivotal role in launching new restaurants across the UK, ensuring every opening delivers the exceptional standards, culture and guest experience the brand is known for.
This is a highly rewarding role for someone who is passionate about developing people, thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys travelling. You'll spend much of your time supporting new restaurant openings, coaching teams on-site and helping to embed operational excellence from day one.

- Spend periods away from home during restaurant opening projects, typically ranging from several days to a few weeks.
- Coach Team Members, Shift Managers and Assistant Managers to ensure brand standards are consistently delivered.
- Support General Managers in preparing their teams for successful openings.
- Lead practical, hands-on training across all areas of restaurant operations, including food quality, service, cleanliness and operational standards.
- Help create high-performing teams by embedding the company's culture and values from day one.
- Identify coaching opportunities and provide constructive feedback to improve confidence and capability.
- Work closely with the Operations and Learning & Development teams to ensure training programmes are delivered consistently.
- Support restaurants beyond opening by helping teams transition into successful day-to-day operations.
