Burger King creates 30 new jobs with new Yorkshire restaurant and here are the perks

Applications are currently open for five managerial roles, including a restaurant manager, senior assistant manager, two assistant managers and a shift manager.

Staff perks include flexible hours and free meals at work, plus 50 per cent off food and drink for friends and family.

Jeremy Wright, people director of Burger King UK, said: “As we continue to deliver on our bold and ambitious growth plans, we are delighted to be creating new job and career opportunities in the area.

"We look forward to welcoming 30 new starters into the Burger King family, at our new Sheffield restaurant.

“We’re proud to provide an inclusive and supportive environment where our teams are able to develop their full potential and accelerate their careers, whilst making great friends and having fun along the way”.

Last year, Burger King revealed plans to open 200 new restaurants across the UK in five years.

The announcement came as the company reported a 68 per cent increase in UK revenues to £211.7m, with like-for-like sales up by 46 per cent during 2021.

It also announced a £33.4m operating profit for the year, compared with a £7.5m loss in 2020 –due to the effects of coronavirus lockdowns and trading restrictions.

The restaurant chain had 509 restaurants in the UK at the end of December 2021, 172 of which were directly owned, with the rest being sub-franchises.

Burger King employs around 4,400 people in total.
