Restaurant Assistant Manager - New Restaurant Opening

Here at BK, we're always going bigger and better. So it makes sense that we're looking for people who want to do the same. As Assistant Manager you'll be a core part of the leadership team to drive the overall success of the restaurant.

Bring that kind of attitude, and you'll boss it. That's because you'll play a part in our big plans for the future as you get stuck in to restaurant management, stand up for what you believe in, and build your own career at the same time. And if you're flexible about where you work, who knows how far you could go.
All we ask is that you're the kind of person who has genuine ambition. That you're someone who always wants to be their best. And that you can bring your authentic self to work - every day. It's what we call keeping it real!

What you'll do:

Each restaurant crew at BK is a fast-moving, high-energy, ultra-supportive family. And you'll lead by example so it stays that way.

You'll own your P&L, so you'll need to focus hard on driving sales while controlling costs. But your day-to-day is where it will all happen. It's about delivering no-nonsense perfection to every customer. Making sure your crew has everything they need to meet the highest standards. And growing, guiding and developing your team so you can stand up to any challenge that comes your way.

What we're after

Being an Assistant Manager is a tough gig. We get it. But you're already on your way, and if you have what it takes to roll up your sleeves when it really matters, you'll smash it.

We're looking for people with true business acumen and just the right kind of talent to keep things moving fast. A can-do approach and the ability to put a smile on people's faces are right at the top of our list, too.

And if you also get a buzz out of helping people, and you've got what it takes to put the fun into functional, then we think you'll fit right in.
Join our team now

If you think you're ready for a real opportunity, then maybe it's time you dropped your current crew and joined ours instead.

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.

To millions of people, we paint a mouthwatering picture. No-one cares more about their food than we do.

So it'll come as no surprise that we want our people to feel the same about their careers. In fact, we want everyone to crave a role here as much as our customers crave our burgers, and we've created a workplace that works hard to make that happen.

We're a big business. There's no doubt about it. And we're still growing fast, with brand new restaurants popping up all over the UK at an incredible pace - we opened 32 in 2022. Our future is real - and we're already living it.

And the best bit? More restaurants naturally mean more opportunities. Which means your future could look as real as ours, too.

So, when you join us, you'll have a proper say in how we grow, plus lots of wriggle room to move up, or move sideways into new parts of our business, if that's how you roll.

Our customers love our food. True story. And our people love working here too. Why? Because we also give them a taste of the good stuff with the juiciest perks and benefits in the business.

Our full benefits packages are tailored to individual roles, and include medical insurance, health assessments, the ability to purchase extra holiday, our bike to work scheme, team bonuses, and loads more.

Our standard package is a whopper, too.

Amongst the standard benefits you get 50% off your food and drinks, discounted gym membership and discounts at more than 700 retail outlets and much more.

And if you're happy keepin' on keepin' on in the role you first jump in to… well… we don't think there's anything wrong with that, either.
