Are you a confident yet humble leader?

Confident in the sense that you’re grounded in who you are and your values.

Humble in the sense that, even though you know a lot about running restaurants, you stay curious, keep learning, and welcome other perspectives. Because you know it’s not about you. It’s about the mission of the company, and building a great restaurant and workplace where people genuinely want to do their best.

You’ve spent enough years in the restaurant industry to understand what it takes to run a successful operation. But just as importantly, you’ve spent enough time getting to know yourself, developing the calm, clarity, and steadiness it takes to lead in a fast-paced restaurant environment.

In this role, you’ll lead from the floor. You’ll work hard, set the example, and roll up your sleeves alongside your team, every day.

Because let’s be honest, running a Five Guys restaurant is intense. We serve high-quality, freshly made food at the speed of fast food, without freezers, timers, or automation. Just great people, sharp routines, and amazing teamwork.

If this sounds like you, you might be the Restaurant Manager we’re looking for at our restaurant in Uppsala

Life as a Restaurant Manager

The culture in the restaurant starts with you.

You lead with warmth and clarity. You set clear expectations and create structure that help your team succeed under pressure. You know how to give feedback and hold people accountable in a way that makes them feel respected, cared for while motivated to do their best. You build teams that follow you because they trust you, not because they fear the consequences.

At the same time, you will take full ownership of the restaurant’s daily operations and Profit & Loss, covering everything from leadership and food quality to customer experience, hygiene routines, and of course, driving profitability through smart planning, cost control, and efficient staffing.

Your day-to-day includes:

✔ Taking full Profit and Loss responsibility of the restaurant and working toward financial targets

✔ Leading and coaching Managers and Crew side by side

✔ Creating a culture where people feel safe, engaged, and proud to be part of the team

✔ Overseeing core operations such as staffing, food prep, scheduling, inventory, ordering and compliance

✔ Owning the customer experience and stepping in on the floor when needed

✔ Ensuring strong routines for food quality, hygiene, and service

✔ Developing individuals and growing internal talent into future leaders

Who you are:

✅ Experienced – 3+ years in similar role, running a bigger restaurant, including staffing, food cost, waste, and scheduling

✅ Self-aware – you know your strengths, your limits, and when to ask for help

✅ Calm and steady – grounded in yourself, even when things get stressful

✅ Ambitious and growth-oriented – always looking to improve

✅ Humble – you lead by example and you’re never above doing the dishes

✅ Highly structured and organized

✅ Fluent in English (Swedish is a strong plus)
