We’re on a mission to be the nation’s most-loved neighbourhood restaurant. Think sunshine-filled food, great energy, teams that genuinely have each other’s backs, and usually a dog snoozing under someone’s table. 🐶 As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a stand-alone Payroll Manager to make sure the amazing people across our restaurants are paid accurately, compliantly and on time, every single pay run. You’ll own the smooth running of payroll across our UK sites using Fourth Payroll, oversee TRONC administration, and work closely with our People, Finance and Operations teams to keep everything ticking along nicely. In short: you’re organised, detail-focused, and the kind of person who sleeps well at night knowing the numbers are spot on.
