General Manager

The Beefy Boys

Cardiff•£42k- £48k basic + £11k- £15k tronc + OTE £6k annual bonus•Full time

Four mates. One back-garden barbecue that got out of hand. A burger that came second in the world.


That was 2011. Now there are eight Beefy Boys restaurants and over 400 of us. We're looking for a General Manager for Cardiff, and we want someone who'll make it the best one yet.


Here's the job.

It's your restaurant. You'll build the team, from the first hire to the Saturday night crew, and lead them to our standards. That means every burger right, every guest looked after, and every number heading the right way: sales, labour, GP and waste. You'll keep food safety tight and solve whatever breaks, because something always does. And you'll do most of it from the floor, not the office.


You'll fit right in if...

you've run a busy, high-volume restaurant and you've got the results to show for it. You hire well, you coach hard, and your teams stick around. You know the numbers inside out, and you're still the first one to grab a tray when it's busy.


The honest bit.

It's proper busy and you'll carry a lot. Our restaurants are high volume, and our standards don't drop when it's rammed. If you want a quiet site you can run on autopilot, this isn't it. If you want to build something people queue for, keep reading.


So, what's the pay?

Nobody works for free, so let's be upfront. And honestly? It's good. Your salary is £42k to £48k. Last year, our managers took home an average of £11k- £15k each from tronc. On top of that there's a quarterly bonus. Last year most of our sites paid out 85% or more of it, which works out at around £5.1k a year. Tronc goes up and down with how busy we are, but all in, you're looking at up to £68k a year.


It's a 45-hour contract, and with doors open 12 till 9.30, there's no breakfast service and no late-night lock-ups.


What else you get.

All the stuff you'd expect is here: holiday, a pension, free food every shift and money off when you bring your mates in. Plus wellbeing support, including a GP and mental health support, and we close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. But ask anyone who's been here a while and they'll tell you it's the people. Two staff parties a year, including a summer festival that reminds everyone why they love it, a real say in how we grow, and a route to a multi-site role as we open more restaurants.
