Butchery Manager/GM in Glasgow

Butchery Manager/GM

About the role

I’m working with an award-winning food business to find a butcher who enjoys running a shop as much as working on the block.

You’ll run the shop day to day and lead by example. That means working alongside the butchery team, keeping the counter ready for trade and making sure customers get good advice on what to buy and how to cook it.

• Lead and train the team, organise rotas and plan the day’s cutting and preparation around demand.
  

• Bone, trim and portion meat for the counter and prepare special orders for customers.
  

• Manage ordering, stock levels and rotation. Keep track of sales, margins, yield and waste.
  

• Keep the counter well stocked and well presented, and use customer feedback and sales to help shape the range.
  

• Make sure food safety, hygiene and traceability checks are carried out and recorded.
  

• Working with meat, pork, beef, lamb and other meats.
