Deputy Manager – Rudy’s Pizza, Bristol

Salary: £35,000 per year + tronc + up to 32% bonus paid quarterly

Bristol… we’re here, and we’re looking for an incredible Deputy Manager to join our lively Rudy’s Famiglia. If you’re passionate about people, thrive in fast-paced restaurants, and love the idea of leading a buzzing pizzeria serving proper Neapolitan pizza — this could be your next move.

About Rudy’s 🍕

Born in Manchester in 2015, Rudy’s started with one simple belief: Experience is great. Passion is everything. Fresh dough made daily. The finest Italian ingredients. Pizza cooked in just 60 seconds. Perfetto. Since then, we’ve grown across the UK while staying true to what matters most: incredible pizza, brilliant people, and creating unforgettable experiences for every guest who walks through our doors.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Deputy Manager, you’ll be at the heart of the action — leading from the front, owning the floor, supporting your team and helping drive the success of the restaurant alongside the General Manager. This is the perfect role for an ambitious hospitality leader ready to take the next big step.

You’ll be responsible for:

Leading energetic, motivated shifts in a fast-paced restaurant
Creating a brilliant atmosphere for both guests and team members

Managing labour, stock, rota planning and restaurant performance
Understanding and working with KPIs, budgets and P&L
Maintaining high operational and food safety standards
Being a role model for Rudy’s culture, energy and values
Supporting the General Manager in delivering a successful, high-performing site

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with energy, personality and leadership skills who’s ready to make their mark. We're also looking for:

Experience in a management role within a fast-paced hospitality environment
A proven ability to lead and motivate a team
Confidence managing busy services and high-volume operations
Experience working with budgets, labour and P&L
A genuine passion for food, hospitality and guest experience
A hands-on approach — you lead from the floor, not the office
A drive to learn, grow and develop your career
Big energy and the ability to bring people with you

Most importantly, you’ll love creating memorable experiences and building teams that people genuinely want to be part of.
