LEAD THE SMASH!!
Bunda Brothers is hiring a leader who can build a team that performs, run a high-volume operation properly, and keep standards high when the pace is on.
This is not a clipboard manager role.
We need someone who leads from the front, coaches hard, fixes issues early, and knows how to keep both kitchen and front-of-house sharp.
This role covers both the sites operation and Bunda’s food truck/event side, supporting service at everything from Thomond Park match days to large festivals and major events.
If you can run a fast shift, build a solid team, and keep labour, standards and service under control, you’ll do well here.
The role
You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day operation and help build a team that is fast, switched on and consistent. You’ll be leading a mixed skill team across kitchen and FOH, making sure the site is properly staffed, properly managed and properly run.
You’ll also play a key role in supporting Bunda’s mobile/event operation, helping ensure the food truck is staffed, organised and executed properly for busy external events.
What you’ll be responsible for
- Lead, coach and develop a mixed skill team across kitchen and FOH
- Build smart rotas that protect labour %, cover peak trading and keep service moving
- Support staffing and operational planning for the food truck and off-site events
- Help deliver strong execution at external events, including match days, festivals and high-volume pop-ups
- Run daily briefs, set expectations and drive strong shift execution
- Deal with performance issues early through feedback, coaching and follow-through
- Support hiring and onboarding to keep the operation stable and scalable
- Keep standards tight across cleanliness, presentation, speed, accuracy and customer recovery
- Use KPIs to improve behaviours and performance, not just report numbers
- Be visible on shift and set the tone for pace, standards and accountability
What we’re looking for
- Experience as a GM, Assistant GM, or a strong Shift Manager ready to step up
- Background in QSR, takeaway, fast casual, catering or high-volume event food
- Strong people leadership and confidence in performance conversations
- Solid labour planning and rota building ability
- Hands on operator who leads from the floor, not the office
- Good kitchen understanding and enough operational grip to own outcomes
- Direct, consistent communicator with high standards
- Calm, organised and reliable under pressure
- Flexible enough to support event trading where required
What you’ll get
- From €40,000 per year, depending on experience
- KPI-based bonus
- A leadership role with real accountability and authority
- A fast-moving business where standards matter
- Exposure to both site operations and major external events
- Real room to grow with an expanding brand
