Area Coach

About the role

As an Area Coach, you’ll lead a group of restaurants to deliver standout results across People, Customer, Sales, and Profit by coaching, challenging, and growing your GMs. You’ll mix strategic thinking with hands‑on leadership, building high‑performing teams and setting a culture that’s worth following.

• Lead from the front – You’ll support and challenge a group of Restaurant General Managers (RGMs) to deliver on the big four:
  People, Customer, Sales, and Profit.
• Drive the strategy – You’ll set clear goals, help build the game plan, and keep everyone focused on what really moves the needle.
• Spot commercial opportunities – You’ll have your eyes open for ways to grow sales, improve margins, and make every restaurant run smarter.
• Hire smart – You’ll guide the hiring process to make sure we bring in top talent who get our values and want to stick around.
• Grow future leaders – You’ll spot rising stars early and back them with the right development so they’re ready when it’s their time.
• Hold the standards – From product quality to customer experience, you’ll audit what matters and act fast when things slip.

• Commercial edge – You’re not just about operations; you understand the business side, and you know how to drive results.
• Big picture thinking – You see how everything connects—from head office to the kitchen floor—and you can guide others through the same lens.
• Lead with heart – You care about your people, not just the numbers. You bring authenticity, values, and humanity to the role.
