We’re Butterleaf — a fast-growing, fast-casual health food restaurant specialising in Salads, Warm Bowls and Protein Plates.

Our concept is built around one simple idea: Food that loves you back. Our space is full of fresh produce, good vibes, and a whole lot of heart. We make everything in-house, from our dressings to our crunches — and we’re serious about doing things properly.

Now, we’re on the lookout for a full-time Manager to help us lead the charge.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll work directly with the founder and take the reins on day-to-day operations — helping to lead the team, maintain standards, and drive service. You'll be on the floor, hands-on, and setting the tone. Butterleaf will rely on you to deliver the exceptional customer experience that we have become known for.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a dynamic, people-first fast-paced workplace and wants to grow with a brand on the rise.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Be a role model for the team and lead by example during service
- Support hiring, training, and development of front and back-of-house staff
- Keep service tight: from prepping and assembling bowls to running a smooth shift
- Maintain Butterleaf’s high standards of quality, cleanliness, and customer experience
- Assist with inventory, stock control, and ordering
- Work closely with the manager to improve systems and scale our impact

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- Leadership experience in hospitality (ideally in rapid-casual or quick service)
- A people-first mindset — you love creating a warm, positive team culture
- Ability to maintain professionalism under pressure




- Strong attention to detail and commitment to consistency
- Ability to work a flexible rotating roster including nights/ weekends
- Someone reliable, adaptable, and solutions-focused
- Passion for good food and healthy living
- Ready to roll sleeves up and grow with us

WHAT YOU GET

- Full-time hours
- Hands-on experience and direct mentorship from the founder
- A supportive team culture with lots of room to grow
- Be part of something meaningful — we care about our people, our food, and our community

ABOUT YOU: You’re passionate, people-focused, and thrive in a fast-paced, feel-good environment. You care about quality, lead with authenticity, and love being part of something bigger than yourself.

In return, you’ll join a driven, values-led team that takes pride in doing things properly — and has a great time doing it. We offer a competitive salary, hands-on mentorship, and plenty of room to grow as Butterleaf continues to expand. Your journey with us will be shaped by your attitude, energy, and the impact you make.

To apply, please send your resume and a short cover letter.
