Ready to take the lead and build and deliver results?
We are seeking an ambitious and experienced Area Manager to take ownership of a set of Papa John’s stores across the Glasgow area.
This is a practical multi-site leadership post for someone who loves to work at pace, can get the best from others and has a strong commercial head.
You will work closely with our Store Managers and their teams, spending the majority of your time in shops; coaching, developing, challenging and supporting our people to produce exceptional customer service, high operational standards and sustainable sales and profit growth.
What you will be doing:
- Leading the day-to-day performance of several Papa John’s stores throughout the Glasgow area.
- Coaching, assisting and growing Store Managers and their management teams.
- Recruiting and developing exceptional people and generating a solid pipeline of future managers to launch new stores in the area.
- Driving sales growth and looking for possibilities to improve the performance of our stores.
- Control of critical business costs, such as labour, food costs, stock, wastage and other controllable costs.
- Store KPI review and translating performance data into actionable plans.
- Meet Papa John’s brand and operational requirements in store consistently.
- Ensuring high levels of Food safety, health & safety, hygiene and compliance.
- Increasing client happiness, service times, product quality and order accuracy.
- Supporting labour scheduling to make sure retailers have the right workers in the right place at the right time.
- Frequent store inspections, performance assessments and operational audits.
- Supporting marketing and sales-building activities for the local store.
- Holding Store Managers accountable, yet supporting them with the instruction they need to succeed.
- Creating a good, high-energy, performance-centred culture across the area.
What we are looking for:
You’ll ideally possess:
- Previous experience in multi-site QSR, takeaway/delivery, restaurant, hospitality or similar fast-paced environments.
- Proven track record in managing and developing Managers.
- Sound knowledge of business combined with experience in controlling sales, labour, food expenses and profitability.
- Strong leadership, coaching and communication skills.
- The capacity to assess KPIs and rapidly identify where action is required.
- High standards of operation and meticulous attention to detail.
- A customer-first mindset and passion for delivering outstanding service.
- The confidence to make decisions, to solve problems and to hold others accountable.
- A positive attitude and willing to put in the hours. This is not a 9-5 gig. Not glancing at your watch.
- Flexibility to work across different stores and at different times as the demands of the business dictate.
- A full UK driving licence and a willingness to travel regularly between outlets.
- Experience with Papa John’s, Domino’s, Pizza Hut or any other multi-site QSR/delivery brand would be a definite plus.
What we provide:
Job Type: Full-time, Indefinite
Salary: Starting at £35,000+ based on experience, with OTE Bonus £10,000
Benefits: Performance and Loyalty bonuses and career growth possibilities
This is a chance to take control of a busy multi-shop business and really make a difference to how it performs.
As a Store Manager, you will develop your Store Managers, establish great teams and contribute to the continuous success of our Papa John’s business across Glasgow.
People are at the heart of our business at Papa John’s. We want leaders who put people first, do the right thing, accept change, build an inclusive team and remember that – after all – it’s pizza, so we should have some fun along the way.
