Department Manager | New QSR Concept | Essex (Commutable Area) | Up to £35K + Bonus | No Late Nights!
Are you an Assistant Manager ready to level up? Join a brand-new fresh food concept backed by a leading UK retail group. We're talking fresh pizzas, gourmet burgers, and premium grab-and-go — without the hospitality hours.
This is your chance to help build something from the ground up and grow with a company that invests in its people.
Why this role?
Up to £35K + performance bonus
Day shifts only – no late nights!
Clear path to multi-site leadership
Join an innovative concept at the ground level
Work with a supportive, forward-thinking team
What you’ll do:
Lead daily operations and team performance
Champion customer service and food quality
Manage rotas, H&S, stock, and compliance
Collaborate on product launches and local marketing
Drive KPIs and support ongoing innovation
We’re looking for:
Current or recent Assistant Manager experience in QSR, casual dining, or retail food
People-first leader who thrives in a hands-on environment
Commercial thinker with a passion for fresh food
Someone excited to shape a new concept — not just run someone else’s playbook
