Restaurant Manager - Guzman y Gomez

At Guzman y Gomez, we don’t just run restaurants — we grow leaders.

And now, we’re giving you the opportunity to lead something truly special.

We’re opening a brand-new restaurant in Cranebrook in June, and we’re looking for an exceptional Restaurant Manager to build, lead and inspire the team that will bring it to life.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role where you’re not just managing a restaurant — you’re creating one from the ground up.

As a Restaurant Manager, you’ll be trusted to:

• Lead a brand-new team of 100 people, shaping culture, standards and performance before doors even open.
• Own the full restaurant opening, including recruitment, training, operational readiness, launch execution and community engagement.
• Run a multi-million dollar business unit, driving sales, managing costs, and delivering outstanding guest experiences.
• Lead from the front, creating a safe, high-performing environment where people love to work and guests love to return.
• Be part of a fast-growing global brand that’s redefining fast food with real ingredients, authentic flavours and a bold vision.
• Take the next step in your career — this role is a launchpad into Area Management, senior leadership or even franchise ownership.

Opening a new restaurant is one of the most rewarding leadership journeys at GYG — and as Restaurant Manager, you’ll be right at the centre of it.

Why join GYG?

We’ll back you with the tools, support and rewards you need to succeed:

• Competitive salary + performance bonuses + share options
• Flexible rosters and long-term stability — let’s talk about what balance means to you
• Structured training program and ongoing development to sharpen your leadership capabilities
• Heavily discounted GYG meals (yes, every burrito)
• Free uniforms and exclusive GYG merch
• Annual Restaurant Managers Summit — connect, learn and grow with leaders from across the country
• Cultural celebrations including Day of the Dead & Cinco de Mayo
• Employee assistance program (Sonder) for you and your family
• Clear pathways into Area Management, Hola Central or franchise ownership

And of course — the chance to open a brand-new GYG, something only a handful of leaders get to experience each year.
