LEAD THE SMASH!!!

We operate at the top end of the market: everything is made in house, fresh, and built around consistency, speed and quality. This is a kitchen first leadership role, with oversight of the full service line, not a traditional FOH manager job. FOH is a streamlined takeaway model your team are catering assistants handling POS and service; you set the pace, standards and service flow on shift.

Kitchen leadership

- Lead the full team on shift and keep standards tight
- Ensure POS and order-taking is done correctly and consistently
- Customer standards and recovery when needed (quick fixes, no drama)
- Maintain front-of-house cleanliness, presentation, and basic routines
What we’re looking for
- Proven Head Chef / Senior Sous experience in high-volume QSR / takeaway / fast casual
- You can run a system: prep discipline, speed, consistency, and clean execution
- Strong commercial instincts: portioning, waste, ordering control, stock accuracy
- Comfortable leading a mixed-skill team and setting the tempo on shift
- High standards on cleanliness, organisation and accountability
What you’ll get
- Base salary + KPI-based bonus (performance-led)
- Real influence in a business planning to expand
- The chance to build the site playbook and set standards for future locations
- A fast-moving, quality-driven environment where standards aren’t negotiable
