We’re the burger restaurant with a simple formula: burgers and fries cooked to perfection, with no frozen ingredients. We’ve stuck to the same philosophy since the family business began in 1986.
In every restaurant, you’ll find talented Assistant Managers who work with the General Manager and share responsibility for the success of the restaurant’s results. This includes leading, inspiring and coaching the teams to ensure the restaurant delivers profitability, and optimises all sales opportunities while delivering an excellent level of customer service.
Our Assistant Managers demonstrate leadership, coaching and direction, along with bringing our values to life for their team and customers.
