UK Restaurant Crew Opportunities
We have over 20,000 crew members throughout the UK & Eire in both our Company and Franchised restaurants all playing a vital role in delivering the service and quality our customers expect in line with our customer promise:
BURGER KING® is flame-grilled burgers, fries and soft drinks at a great value, served quickly and consistently by friendly people in clean surroundings.
There's a real team atmosphere in our restaurants. It's a busy and hard-working environment, but we make sure you have some fun too! We offer great flexibility in your working hours, both in terms of the total number of hours you work per week, and your shift patterns, due to the variety of full and part time roles available within each restaurant.
Our Right Track Training Programme makes sure that you have a great start with Burger King®. It is a comprehensive induction and training programme covering everything from Health & Safety and Food Safety through to how we make each of our products, working in the Dining Area, Front Counter or Kitchen.
You will learn all you need to know by working alongside others as well as using our new interactive DVD programmes.
Career opportunities are unlimited. You can train to become a service expert and progress through to a supervisor. Talented supervisors who show drive and ambition to succeed can join our in-house trainee management programme (including our certificated Basic Management Training (BMT) Course), making sure that we have well-trained, experienced managers we need to drive the future success of BURGER KING®.
