bread&truffle | London | Freelance / fixed-scope per opening
About us
bread&truffle is a premium Italian grab-and-go concept bringing genuine Italian craft to London's best locations, from Monument and Spitalfields to Canary Wharf, St Pancras and beyond. We're growing, with new sites in the pipeline across the city, and we're looking for an operator who can take a new store from empty shell to opening day.
The role
This is a project-based engagement, one defined scope per store. You'll own the delivery of a new site opening end to end, on time and on budget, and hand over a fully operational store ready for day one of trading. As our pipeline grows, strong delivery on one opening leads directly to the next.
Each engagement has a clear start, a clear scope, and a clear finish: keys handed over, store trading.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
