Restaurant Manager - New Opening Restaurant - Leeds
We're opening a brand new restaurant in Leeds!
What's in it for you?
Let's start with the good stuff. This is a big role in a fast-growing business - and we make sure you feel the benefit of that.
• Up to 15,000 annual bonus potential for Restaurant Managers, paid twice a year. Based on operating profit, personal performance and business measurables
• Clear progression opportunities - grow your career with us, not just your CV
• WHOPPERCON! - invite to our annual Burger King conference including awards, overnight stay, dinner and dancing!

• 70% off food and drink for you and up to five of your friends and family
• 1,000 referral bonus when your friends join us in management

• 10% off a national gym chain
• Cycle to Work scheme
• One paid volunteering day each year
• Free mortgage advice
• Employee Assistance Programme - confidential support whenever you need it
• Pension scheme to help build your future
And it's not just us saying it's a great place to work.
We're proud winners of the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2025, with employee engagement scores 6% higher than the industry average. That means our people feel heard, supported and set up to succeed - and we work hard to keep it that way.
This is it. The big one. Your chance to step into a role with real impact in a business that's growing faster than you might expect.
The role
As a Restaurant Manager, you'll run your restaurant like you own it. You'll lead from the front, build a high-performing team, and create a place where people love to work - and customers love to come back to.
You'll:
• Lead, coach and develop your management team and crew
• Own your P&L and drive sales and profitability
• Deliver brilliant standards, every shift, every day
• Control costs, hit targets and keep things moving fast
• Create an energetic, inclusive culture where people can be their best
You'll also be focused on developing stars - coaching your managers, growing talent and creating clear pathways for people who want more. When your team wins, you win.
It's fast-paced, high-energy and hands-on - but you won't be doing it alone. You'll be supported every step of the way.
What we're looking for
Restaurant management isn't easy - and you already know that. You've got experience running a busy operation, making smart commercial decisions, and stepping in when it really counts.
You're confident, people-focused and not afraid to roll your sleeves up. You bring positivity, pace and a can-do attitude, and you genuinely enjoy helping others grow. If you know how to put the fun into functional, you'll fit right in.
Ready to join us?
If you're looking for a role with real responsibility, proper progression and rewards that actually mean something - it might be time to swap crews and join ours.
Have it your way. Apply now.
We are a Disability Confident employer. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences. If you require any adjustments or accommodations during the application or interview process, please do not hesitate to contact us, we are committed to providing a fair and accessible recruitment process for all applicants.
