Department Manager - No Late Nights! in Loughton, East Of England

Department Manager | New QSR Concept | Essex (Commutable Area) | Up to £35K + Bonus | No Late Nights!

Are you an Assistant Manager ready to level up? Join a brand-new fresh food concept backed by a leading UK retail group. We're talking fresh pizzas, gourmet burgers, and premium grab-and-go — without the hospitality hours.

This is your chance to help build something from the ground up and grow with a company that invests in its people.

Why this role?

• Up to £35K + performance bonus

• Day shifts only – no late nights!

• Clear path to multi-site leadership

• Join an innovative concept at the ground level

• Work with a supportive, forward-thinking team

What you’ll do:

• Lead daily operations and team performance

• Champion customer service and food quality

• Manage rotas, H&S, stock, and compliance

• Collaborate on product launches and local marketing

• Drive KPIs and support ongoing innovation

We’re looking for:

• Current or recent Assistant Manager experience in QSR, casual dining, or retail food

• People-first leader who thrives in a hands-on environment

• Commercial thinker with a passion for fresh food

• Someone excited to shape a new concept — not just run someone else’s playbook
