Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at The Flavour Trailer
️Head of Operations – The Flavour Trailer
Location: Northamptonshire (Hybrid – HQ + field)
Salary: £60,000 per year
Incentive: Future share options tied to KPI performance
Type: Full Time
Who We Are
We’re The Flavour Trailer — a rebellious, high-performing multi million £ burger brand that started in a garden shed and now operates a multi-site business across Northamptonshire and beyond, including a restaurant HQ and a fleet of mobile trailers.
We’re on a mission to scale to a national level bringing burger to every part of the UK and we’re not slowing down. But to do it right, we need to protect the brand at every level — and that starts with flawless operations.
That’s where you come in.
The Role
We’re hiring a Head of Operations to take charge of every moving part — trailers, trucks, restaurant, systems, standards, and people.
This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be in the field, watching, supporting, coaching, fixing, developing and leading — especially when the heat’s on.
You’ll work directly with the founders to create systems that scale and a team culture that delivers.
This is a rare opportunity to take a proven business and help drive it into its next phase — and earn a piece of the company as you do it.
️What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead day-to-day operations across all Flavour Trailer units (restaurant + trucks + trailers)
* Build, maintain, and enforce rock-solid SOPs across service, prep, packing, logistics, and maintenance
* Coach and manage team leaders and managers to enforce standards, and ensure accountability
* Be present during peak periods — evenings and weekends when needed
* Drive weekly P&L review cycles and site-specific performance improvements
* Roll out new locations, systems, menus, and processes
* Lead supplier comms, reduce wastage, tighten stock control
* Solve problems before they become fires — and be ready to jump in when needed
* Develop bulletproof growth trajectory as we expand
What You Bring
* Hospitality operations experience essential — ideally multi-site or mobile kitchen environments
* Strong people leadership — you’ve managed managers and built teams before
* Real understanding of kitchen workflows, staffing, compliance, and quality control
* A systems-first mindset: you know that scalability = repeatability
* A bias for presence — you’re not afraid of a Friday night shift when it matters
* Resilience, energy, and a calm head under pressure
What You Get
* £60,000 per year — serious pay for a serious operations role
* Future share options — hit agreed KPIs and earn ownership in what you help grow
* Direct line to the founder, strategic involvement in scaling
* Clear progression pathway: become first person to be considered for COO or step into a Regional Area Manager role as we expand
* A seat at the table — not just as an employee, but as a key builder of the next stage of this business
* A culture of pace, loyalty, autonomy, and ambition — no fluff, no slow lanes
