Job description
We're looking for a hands-on Operations & Growth Manager to lead daily operations at Diay Fresh Chicken House in Al Hufuf. This role sits at the center of our business — you'll run the branch day-to-day while directly driving the two things that matter most to us right now: cost efficiency and revenue growth. This is a rare opportunity to have real, visible impact on a growing local brand, with performance-based upside tied to your results.
Key responsibilities:
- Manage daily branch operations — staffing, food quality, and customer experience
- Reduce food cost (COGS) through better supplier terms, portion control, and waste reduction
- Grow branch revenue through local marketing, menu optimization, and smart promotions
- Actively manage delivery platform accounts (HungerStation, Keeta, Jahez) — commissions, marketing spend, and ROI
- Maintain accurate weekly cash and inventory reconciliation
- Deliver clean monthly performance reports (revenue, COGS%, labor%, cash position) to ownership
- Identify and pursue new growth opportunities such as catering and bulk orders
Skills
- 3–5+ years managing QSR/restaurant operations in Saudi Arabia
- Track record improving food cost % or reversing declining revenue
- Strong financial literacy — able to read a P&L, calculate break-even, and track KPIs independently
- Experience managing delivery aggregator platforms and promo economics
- Strong supplier negotiation skills
- Fluent Arabic; working English for reporting and dashboards
- High integrity with cash and inventory handling
- Experience with Foodics or similar POS/inventory systems is a plus
