Restaurant Operations & Training Associate (UK Travel)

United KingdomOn-siteFull-timeEntry · 0-2 yearsH1B likely

About this role

This is one of the fastest ways to break into restaurant operations and account management in the UK delivery space.

We’re hiring a Training & Launch Associate to lead the on-the-ground rollout of new kitchen partners across the UK. You’ll be responsible for getting 4–5 kitchens live each week, turning new partners into fully operational, revenue-generating sites.

If you’ve worked in kitchens and want to step out of service but stay close to operations—this is that bridge.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Travel across the UK to launch and train new kitchen partners (4–5 per week)
  • Train teams on food prep, presentation, and brand standards
  • Take full ownership of launches—from planning to go-live
  • Act as the face of Growth Kitchen on-site
  • Work closely with Account Managers to hand over high-performing sites
  • Feed real-time insights back to improve how we launch kitchens

Why this role is different:

Most entry-level roles don’t give you ownership—this one does.

Within months, you’ll have:

  • Launched dozens of kitchens across the UK
  • Built direct relationships with operators
  • Developed real commercial and operational judgment
  • This role is designed as a stepping stone into Account Management, with a clear progression path as you prove yourself.

Requirements

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience working in restaurants or professional kitchens (essential)
  • Ready to travel regularly and manage a fast-moving weekly schedule
  • Confident training and leading teams you’ve just met
  • Highly organised and comfortable working independently
  • Ambitious—you want to move into Account Management or operations
  • Resilient and adaptable under pressure

Benefits

What you’ll get:

  • Clear progression into Account Management
  • Exposure to multiple restaurant brands and delivery platforms
  • Stock options, pension, and health insurance
  • A fast-learning environment where performance is recognised quickly
  • A team that cares about doing things properly (and enjoys it too)
