District Manager – Five Guys Copenhagen
BURGERS & FRIES AND INCREDIBLE CAREERS
We're the burger restaurant with the uncomplicated formula: burgers and fries cooked to perfection, with no frozen ingredients.
We've stuck to the same "perfect and serve" philosophy since our family business began in 1986, no freezers, no shortcuts, just
fresh produce and a passion for great food.
Five Guys is one of the fastest-growing burger brands in the world, and we're expanding across Scandinavia with new openings
planned in the coming years. Copenhagen is a key part of that journey, and we're looking for a hands-on District Manager to help
lead it.
About the role
As District Manager, you'll drive the performance of Five Guys restaurants in the Copenhagen area. This is not an office job.
You'll lead from the front, spending your time in the restaurants, supporting managers and crew, and making sure every location
delivers perfect burgers, fast service, and a team that's proud of what they do.
You'll be an expert in all things people, operations, and commercial performance. You know exactly what it takes to build highly
engaged teams, and why that's the foundation of a profitable business. People follow you because they trust you, not because they
fear the consequences.
What you'll be doing
Own performance across your restaurants, People, quality, and results
- Lead daily operations, ensuring every location meets or exceeds Five Guys standards for food quality, speed, and customer
experience
Coach and develop restaurant managers and crew, building strong teams with clear succession plans

Ensure full compliance with food safety, health and safety, and labour regulations
Support new restaurant openings as we grow in Denmark
Recruit, retain, and engage high-performing people, and create a culture of accountability and pride
Who you are
An experienced restaurant leader with a proven track record in high-volume, fast-paced operations, QSR experience is ideal.
- Multi-site leadership experience is a strong plus, but not a must, what matters is that you've led busy teams to great results
and are ready for the next step
A natural coach: you set high standards, hold people accountable, and do it with warmth and care
Commercially sharp, with solid experience managing sales, labour, and P&L
Calm and steady under pressure, you stay grounded when things get busy
Ambitious and self-aware: you set bold goals, push yourself to exceed them, and know when to ask for help
Fluent in English; Danish is a plus
