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 experience, who thrives in high-volume environments, lives and breathes our values and is a natural leader.

As a Five Guys District Manager, you’ll lead the success of multiple 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

  • Be a strong operational leader across all day parts, including peak demand
  • Build strong relationships across your district and support office

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • Proven multi-site leadership experience in QSR 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
