About Taco Bell

At Taco Bell, we’re all about Live Más! We bring bold flavors and vibrant energy to quick-service dining. We are looking for driven, high-energy Shift Leaders to join our team, guide our restaurant shifts, and deliver outstanding food and customer experiences.

The Role

As a Shift Leader, you will act as the Manager-in-Charge during your shifts. You will bridge the gap between team members and restaurant management, ensuring that every shift runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy coaching team members, and take pride in delivering great service, this is the perfect step to advance your career in hospitality management.

Key Responsibilities

• Shift Operations: Lead and manage restaurant shifts from start to finish, ensuring speed of service, product quality, and operational standards across all stations.
• Team Leadership & Coaching: Direct, motivate, and assign tasks to team members. Provide on-the-spot feedback and assist with training new hires.
• Customer Service: Ensure every guest receives fast, friendly, and accurate service. Address customer inquiries and resolve issues promptly.
• Food Safety & Compliance: Enforce strict UK food safety, hygiene, HACCP, and health & safety standards throughout the kitchen and front-of-house.
• Business & Cash Controls: Manage registers, perform float counts and end-of-shift cash reconciliations, monitor food waste, and help maintain labor efficiency targets.

What We Are Looking For

• Previous experience in a quick-service restaurant (QSR), fast food, hospitality, or retail supervisory role.
• Strong leadership skills with a passion for encouraging and mentoring team members.
• Excellent communication, time management, and problem-solving abilities.
• Flexibility to work a varied schedule, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and late-night shifts.
• Right to work in the UK.

Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay with opportunities for overtime.
• Clear career progression paths (Shift Leader -> Assistant General Manager -> Restaurant General Manager).
• Free/discounted staff meals during shifts.
• Flexible shift scheduling.
• Comprehensive training and continuous leadership development.
• Company pension scheme and holiday allowance.
