Quick Summary

Lead the annual budgeting cycle and deliver consistent financial performance as the General Manager of a growing street food restaurant group.

Job Description

Our client is a dynamic and fast-growing street food restaurant group operating across multiple locations in Spain. As they sharpen their concept in preparation for a wider franchise rollout, they are looking for a commercially driven, hands-on leader to take the reins as their General Manager. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone who is energised by building and shaping something from the ground up, rather than simply maintaining the status quo.

What You'll Be Doing

Driving Commercial Performance & Financial Results

• Lead the annual budgeting cycle and deliver consistent performance reporting to senior leadership
• Take complete ownership of the P&L across all sites, with a focus on revenue growth, cost control, and hitting profitability targets
• Proactively identify and implement sustainable operational cost efficiencies

Keeping the Engine Running Smoothly

• Oversee and continuously evolve processes across HR, logistics, and day-to-day restaurant operations
• Ensure full and ongoing compliance with food safety standards, quality controls, labour law, and all relevant regulations
• Uphold and embed consistent operational standards across every restaurant location

Shaping the Brand & Pushing Boundaries

• Drive innovation in product development and customer experience, grounded in consumer insight and brand values
• Play a central role in refining and strengthening the restaurant concept ahead of future expansion
• Champion and protect the brand's identity and values across all sites

Building & Inspiring Your Team

• Manage core HR functions across restaurant teams, including recruitment, absence management, and employee relations
• Foster and sustain a high-performance culture built on engagement and accountability
• Inspire, mentor, and develop a senior leadership team spanning operations, logistics, HR, finance, and product

Winning Customers & Strengthening the Brand's Presence

• Partner on marketing campaigns designed to grow footfall, strengthen brand visibility, and build customer loyalty
• Design and maintain a consistent, on-brand customer experience across all in-store and digital touchpoints

Laying the Foundations for What Comes Next

• Execute strategic projects on schedule and within agreed budgets, in line with overall business plans
• Collaborate closely with senior leadership to prepare the business for future growth and the development of a potential franchise model


Requirements:
• Fluency in both Spanish and English, written and spoken — non-negotiable
• Demonstrated track record of P&L management with full financial accountability
• Strong HR knowledge, sufficient to manage teams and handle employee matters independently
• Resident in Madrid or fully committed to an on-site, field-based role in Madrid — no remote or hybrid arrangements; no relocation support available
• Solid experience in brand stewardship, operational standards, and commercial growth
• Proven background as a General Manager, Head of Operations, or Operations Director within a multi-site QSR, fast casual, or restaurant group setting

Preferred Requirements

• Familiarity with Asian cuisine concepts or international restaurant brands
• An entrepreneurial track record — having founded, built, or meaningfully transformed a hospitality business
• Exposure to franchise models or businesses in a pre-expansion or concept development phase
• A history of scaling multi-site restaurant or hospitality operations


Benefits:
Base Salary: €60,000 – €100,000 per annum, based on experience
