District Manager - Drive Thru

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

BURGERS & FRIES AND INCREDIBLE CAREERS!

We're the burger restaurant with the uncomplicated formula: burgers and fries cooked to perfection, with no frozen ingredients. We've stuck to the same 'perfect and serve' philosophy since our family business began in 1986.

Today, we're still a family at heart. We've got integrity, we bring energy, we're competitive and we get it done - whatever the challenge.

We're looking for an enthusiastic, hands-on District Manager with strong QSR Drive-Thru experience, who thrives in high-volume environments, lives and breathes our values and is a natural leader.

As a Five Guys District Manager, you'll lead the success of multiple Drive Thru restaurants, driving performance through people and delivering pace, quality and consistency across high-volume, fast-moving sites.

  • Own performance across your district - people, profit and results
  • Lead from the front - spending time in your restaurants, supporting GMs and driving standards
  • Deliver strong sales, speed of service and operational excellence
  • Coach and develop General Managers to lead busy, high-performing teams
