Nawab's Legendary BBQ is opening a new location in Scarborough and hiring a Store Manager to run it.

This is a business management role rather than a supervisory one. The Store Manager carries the restaurant's profit and loss, owns its food safety and compliance record, and leads the team that delivers both. You are given targets, the authority to hit them, and the numbers to work from. The restaurant runs alongside a single Assistant Manager, so this is a role with genuine scope and very little sitting between you and the result.

What you will be responsible for

Sales, cost of goods, labour cost and operating margin

Food safety, including the restaurant's health inspection record and its daily controls

Compliance with employment and workplace safety obligations, and with brand standards The team, including scheduling, training, supervision and development The guest experience and the restaurant's reputation in the Scarborough market

Why this role

Measured on results, not activity. You manage the restaurant's numbers directly and are judged on what they do.

Earn on performance. A bonus of up to 15 percent of base salary each year, paid quarterly against agreed targets.

Room to grow. We promote from within. If the group opens another location, the Store Manager running this restaurant well is the first person we look to for wider responsibility.

Set the standard from the start. You establish the systems and routines in a new restaurant rather than inheriting someone else's.
