Area Manager - QSR restaurants - Scotland

• Great salary
• Car allowance and petrol and parking expenses paid
• Development opportunities
• Discounted or free food on shift
• Part of a growing company with lots of growth and training

This is a pivotal multi-site leadership role, responsible for driving operational excellence and delivering strong, sustainable performance across four key metrics: People, Customers, Sales, and Profit and as Area Manager you will be responsible for 9 stores.

As Area Manager you will provide transformational leadership and high-impact coaching across multiple restaurant teams.  

You will coach and develop Restaurant General Managers to deliver exceptional guest experiences, embed strong operational discipline, and build high-performing teams. Leading from the front, you will drive accountability, elevate standards, and create a culture where performance and engagement go hand in hand.

This is not a typical 9–5 role. You will spend significant time in your restaurants — on the floor, supporting teams, reviewing performance, conducting audits and leading change initiatives to ensure brand standards and commercial targets are consistently achieved.

We're looking for an Area Manager who is a strategic thinker with a high degree of commercial acumen and the ability to think beyond core operational elements. You should have a proven track record of driving tangible results, a history of career progression, and exposure to wider business functions. We also value your ambition and desire to take on more senior leadership roles in the future, and we are committed to supporting your growth.

As an Area Manager, you will:

Manage restaurant strategy and projects, creating stretch goals for your team.

Flex your commercial acumen by identifying and unlocking core growth opportunities in your restaurants.

Own quarterly business reviews, focusing on profit, people, processes, and products.

Manage the restaurant's recruitment process to bring in the best talent who demonstrate our core values: smart, heart, and courage.

Develop the talent in your area to identify our future leaders and drive retention.
