We're not your average burger joint. At Jimmy's, we serve up bold, cheeky burgers with personality — and we have just as much fun making them as our customers do eating them.
We're a small, tight-knit crew with big energy, great comradery, and a serious love for good food done right.
Your Role

* A deep passion for culinary creativity and quality food
* Ability to lead a small team in a fast-paced environment.
* Strong organisational and communication skills.
