It all started back in 2001 when three Kiwi guys set up the first Gourmet Burger Kitchen in London. Word quickly got around - and soon their fresh, quality burgers served up with a dash of personality and fun were a gigantic hit. Before long new restaurants started popping up all over the place - and now there's 76 of them across the country.
But you know what we've learned along the way?
GBK's success is all about its people.
Close knit teams who love what they do and light up the place with laughter. People who think for themselves and enjoy doing things their way.
They're our future, and we love 'em.
Gourmet Burger Kitchen is part of the Boparan Restaurant Group where our people are the heart and soul of our business.

We don't look for clones, for us it's all about individuality. We want people who are creative, ambitious, and who like to mix things up a little. We believe enthusiasm and positivity are infectious and that can only be a good thing to share.
We operate a diverse array of brands, each with their own unique feel and way of working. Our formats cover quick-service (QSR), assisted-service (ASR), and full-service restaurants, from fast food, to casual dining and premium dining. Each brand and style of operating presents its own challenges and opportunities for you to develop your career with us
