Operations Manager

District Manager / Area Operations Manager

We're recruiting on behalf of an exciting and fast-growing QSR franchise partner operating one of America's most recognised quick-service restaurant brands.

With two established locations in Plymouth and Exeter and ambitious expansion plans already in place, this is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced multi-site operator to play a key role in building the business for the future.

This isn't a corporate middle-management role. We're looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on, driving operational excellence and developing high-performing management teams.

You’ll take ownership of two busy restaurants, ensuring they consistently deliver exceptional standards across people, performance, compliance and profitability while creating the structure needed to support future growth.

Working closely with the franchise owner, you’ll become a trusted operational leader, allowing the business to expand with confidence as new sites are added.

• Leading the operational performance of two restaurants across Plymouth and Exeter.
• Coaching, developing and holding General Managers accountable.
• Driving standards across food quality, customer experience and brand compliance.
• Improving labour efficiency, scheduling, stock control and cost management.
• Leading audit readiness and ensuring operational excellence every day.
• Building robust systems and processes that create consistency across both sites.
• Supporting recruitment, succession planning and talent development.
• Preparing the business for future multi-site expansion.

We’re keen to speak with experienced:

• Area Managers
• District Managers
• Multi-Site Operations Managers
• Senior Operations Managers

Ideally from a QSR, fast food or high-volume hospitality background.

• Experience managing multiple high-volume sites.
• A proven track record of improving operational performance.
• Strong coaching and people development skills.
• Excellent commercial awareness and KPI management.
• Confidence leading audits, compliance and operational standards.
• A hands-on leadership style with high levels of accountability.
• Flexibility to support the needs of a growing business.

• Salary up to £55,000
• Car Allowance
• Performance Bonus
• Structured onboarding and industry-leading brand training
• Genuine career progression as the business continues to expand
• Opportunity to become a key leader within a rapidly growing franchise business

If you’re an ambitious multi-site operator looking to make a real impact in a growing business rather than becoming another number in a large corporate structure, we’d love to hear from you.
