Franchise Manager
About the Role
At Tashas Group, we believe that the front of house is where everything comes to life. It is where beautiful food, thoughtful design and genuine service meet — and where our guests decide how they feel about us.
We are looking for a Franchise Manager who will be the custodian of this experience across our franchised restaurants in Cape Town.
This role is deeply rooted in people, presence and precision. You will work closely with our franchise partners and their teams to ensure that every guest experience reflects our standard of Inspired Hospitality — warm, attentive, consistent and quietly exceptional.
With a strong focus on FOH operations, you will guide, support and elevate teams to deliver service that feels effortless, but is built on discipline, care and attention to detail.
Your Mission
You will act as both partner and guide to our franchisees — building strong relationships, strengthening operational performance, and ensuring that our standards are not only met, but lived.
You will bring clarity, structure and inspiration to every space you step into — helping teams understand not just what to do, but why it matters.
