Shakedown is a Manchester-born smash burger and shakes brand, and we're growing fast. We're looking for a hands-on, commercially sharp Store Manager to take full ownership of our Cheadle Hulme store: running the floor, leading the team, and driving the numbers.
This is a role for a proven Store Manager or a strong Assistant Manager ready to step up into a site of their own. You'll live and breathe great service, keep a tight grip on the P&L, and lead a team that people actually want to work in.
What you'll be doing
- Own the store's sales performance, hitting and exceeding revenue targets
- Manage labour as a percentage of sales through smart rota planning and forecasting
- Control food cost, gross profit and waste, keeping stock, ordering and portioning tight
- Set and maintain the standard for service, speed, quality and cleanliness on every shift
- Protect and grow our online reputation across Google and delivery platforms
- Recruit, onboard, train and develop a high-performing team
- Coach, motivate and manage performance, including reviews and any formal process
- Keep the store fully compliant with food safety, hygiene (EHO) and health & safety standards
- Ensure cash handling, banking and till reconciliation are accurate and secure
- Handle tips fairly and transparently in line with current UK rules
