Do you think like an owner? As a Patrão (what we call General Managers), you won't just manage a restaurant - you'll run a business. If you can build and deliver a strategy, master your P&L, drive sales and keep compliance and safety standards on point, all while inspiring your team to perform at their best, you could be next.

Extra Hot perks

Free PERi-PERi: a Hot (or a Lemon & Herb) free meal every shift you work

Nandoca discount: 40% off for you and up to 5 friends or fam when you’re not working

Our discount platform: save on your weekly shop, clothes, travel, gym memberships, cinema tickets and loads more with PERi+

Grow with us: we've got loads of development programmes to help you build skills for life and take your next step, wherever that may be

Prep for success: from day one, you’ll follow a three-month training plan designed to help you learn, grow, and thrive in your role

Wellbeing support: get free, confidential 24/7 help for healthcare and wellbeing support whenever you need it with WeCare

Sabbatical : every 5 years with us, you unlock a 4-week fully paid sabbatical to travel, recharge, or do whatever makes you happy

Once in a lifetime travel: explore our heritage and culture through unforgettable experiences

Get paid to work with your mates: Refer-a-Friend scheme to earn a bonus for every friend you help to join the Nando’s fam

Performance pays: our competitive bonus scheme rewards you for driving performance, developing your team and delivering great results

Saving for tomorrow: a contributory pension scheme if you’re based in the UK

No such thing as a boring shift: work with great people, make lasting connections, and have fun along the way

What you’ll bring to the Managers table

Leading from the front : as the leader of the restaurant, you’ll set the direction, drive business performance and inspire your management team to deliver great results

More passion, more energy: the drive to motivate, engage and inspire your team on every shift, while delivering an Extra Hot customer experience to all our customers, every time

Know your numbers: balancing budgets, forecasting with confidence and managing labour effectively to deliver strong results

See the big picture: use data, performance trends and commercial insight to drive sales, grow profitability and keep your restaurant performing at its best

People-first : recruit, develop and retain a high-performing team, working closely with your MD (what we call our Area Managers) to create a culture where Nandocas (what we call our Team Members) can thrive

Your experience : 3+ years’ experience as a General Manager, leading teams, managing busy operations, and taking ownership of commercial performance and profitability

Passion for our customers : live and breathe exceptional service, fired-up to serve the best PERi-PERi to all of our customers, every time

Hungry for growth : committed to continuous learning, developing your people, and finding new ways to drive your restaurant forward

Spot and nurture talent : actively drive team development and spot talent to grow the next generation of leaders, and manage their performance

Owning the customer journey : take full ownership of the Nando's customer experience across Eat-in, Collect and Delivery creating memorable moments at every touchpoint

If you're a General Manager who's passionate about people, loves helping teams thrive, and is ready to make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.
