Property Manager Manchester, England
Job description
Burgerism is on a mission to become the #1 delivery burger brand across the UK. Burgers are now the most delivered food in the UK - yet there is no leading delivery burger brand - which is why we want to become the Domino’s of burgers, and see a huge market opportunity for what we do.
We started out in April 2018, from our base in Manchester, selling exclusively through the delivery marketplaces. Customers loved what we offered and word of mouth spread quickly. By 2021, The Burgerism Meal was the 8th most ordered item on Deliveroo in the UK - and the most ordered burger in Manchester.
We’ve now grown to 5 sites - with a mixture of dark kitchen, takeaway and concession formats. We’re on the cusp of becoming a national brand and are set to open an additional 7 sites in 2023 - taking us to a total of 12 locations.
And, yes, we’re hiring!
Our stumbling block to growth is the capacity of our team. This is why we need you!
