[Hiring] Site Openings & Training Manager @Growth Kitchen

Role Description

Growth Kitchen is on a mission to make eating great food the norm. Our platform enables kitchen operators to sell well-known restaurant brands, such as The Athenian and GBK, from their existing kitchens.

We are looking for talented individuals to help grow and oversee our operations across the UK, working closely with kitchens and brands to change the landscape of the restaurant industry. You will help launch and manage our network of third-party delivery kitchens to ensure that our franchisees are operating smoothly and cooking our food to high standards, as well as helping our kitchen partners maximize their success through strategic support and management. The role requires travelling nationally (paid) 80% of the time.

• Train new franchisees: help them learn how to cook our brands
• Have commercial conversations with franchisees, helping them grow their business with us
• Run regular checks on-site, help them cook more accurately and better
• Work with teams and managers in partner kitchens to help them do their job better, operationally and commercially
• Manage a cluster of 30+ kitchen partners, owning their growth trajectory and week-to-week performance
• Support partners by getting hands-on in the kitchen, and solving site issues when they arise

This is an incredible opportunity to join an exciting high-growth start-up in the foodtech space, where you will be given a lot of responsibility early on, and a lot of autonomy to achieve your goals. It is a great way to transition out of being hands-on in a single kitchen, perhaps running a small team, to working with many kitchens and helping them run smoothly.
