The Role:
As Assistant Manager, you will be hands-on in ensuring the store looks impeccable from the moment the doors open. A major part of your role will involve managing our food stations - ensuring they are expertly stocked, aesthetically pleasing, and consistently replenished throughout the day. You will support the Store Manager in leading a team to deliver a seamless "grab-and-go" experience.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the Store Manager in the day-to-day running of the business and provide full management cover during their absence, holidays, or days off.
- Oversee the set-up and filling of food stations, ensuring all products are displayed according to brand guidelines and look appetising.
- Monitor stock levels in real-time; proactively refilling stations during peak periods to ensure zero gaps in availability.
- Assist with back-office duties, including staff scheduling, stock ordering, and health and safety reporting.
- Help train and motivate the team, ensuring they maintain high standards of speed, cleanliness, and service.
- Ensure the store remains fully compliant with food safety regulations and company policies at all times.
What We Are Looking For:
- A background in a bakery, small cafe, or fast-paced "food-to-go" environment is highly desirable.
- Someone who is comfortable taking the reins, making decisions, and leading a team independently.
- You should notice if a shelf is untidy or a station is running low before the customer does.
- The ability to move quickly between administrative tasks and hands-on shop-floor replenishment.
Perks and Benefits:
- Weekly Pay (No more waiting for monthly pay day!)
- Colleague discount of 10% within retail stores and Subway, and 50% within our Pizza Hut delivery sites.
- The opportunity to launch and run the next iteration of our successful concept store that blends retail and food in a bold new way.
- Leadership development and mentoring to help you grow your career.
- Be part of a team that is changing how local convenience looks and feels.
- Access to GroceryAid, a confidential support service offering emotional, practical, and financial help to people working across the entire grocery industry.
