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.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

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
  • Embed consistent, high-quality execution during peak trading periods
  • Drive behaviours, not just results, creating a culture of accountability and pride
PEOPLE FIRST CULTURE

We're all about family, and that starts with you.
  • Build and develop strong, resilient teams that thrive in busy environments
  • Support clear development and succession plans across your district
  • Recruit, retain and engage high-performing teams
  • Create a positive, inclusive culture where teams perform at their best
LEAD WITH INTEGRITY
  • Lead with energy, pace and a growth mindset
  • Keep teams, customers and the brand safe and compliant
  • Be a strong operational leader across all day parts, including peak and drive-thru demand
  • Build strong relationships across your district and support office
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
  • Proven multi-site leadership experience in QSR Drive-Thru environments
  • Track record of delivering results in high-volume, fast-paced operations
  • Strong commercial acumen across sales, labour and P&L performance
  • Ability to lead, coach and develop high-performing teams
  • Resilient, hands-on and comfortable operating at pace
  • Strong communication, presence and the drive to get things done
SUCCESS MEASURES
  • Strong KPIs across sales, speed of service, labour, customer experience and compliance
  • High-performing teams with clear succession pipelines
  • Delivery of district P&L, labour targets and profitability
  • High engagement and consistent customer satisfaction
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
  • Performance-based bonus
  • Private healthcare
  • Life assurance
  • Pension scheme
