Shift Manager

About Us

At Wingstop, we're not just in the chicken business, we're in the flavour business. Creating memorable experiences for our customers and team is what we do best, and we've got the awards to prove it (Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024 & 2025 and Deliveroo's Restaurant of the Year). But our mission remains simple: BRING THE FLAVOUR.

About the Role

As a Shift Manager in one of our locations, you'll play a key role in bringing a brand-new restaurant to life. You'll lead fast paced shifts, helping to set the tone for the team, build a high energy culture, and ensure every process runs smoothly from day one.

You'll work closely with your team, coaching and supporting them while maintaining high standards in food quality, speed, and cleanliness. No two days are the same, you'll thrive on the variety, the buzz of opening a new site, and the chance to shape something from the ground up.

This is a hands on, leadership focused role with real responsibility, perfect for someone who loves building teams, delivering results, and making an immediate impact.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the successful launch of the restaurant
• Leading shifts and setting high standards from day one
• Coaching and developing a brand-new team
• Driving performance, service, and consistency
• Supporting operational setup and early stage growth

What We're Looking For

• Previous supervisory experience
• Excited by new openings and building teams
• Strong leadership and adaptability
• High energy and positive attitude

Our Values

Authentic. Entrepreneurial. Fun. Service Minded.
