Who We Are
SpudBros Express is not your average potato shop. We’re a fast-growing QSR brand serving up loaded comfort food with premium flair - and we’re scaling fast across the UK and beyond. Our back-of-house team is the backbone of every shift, making sure our prep, quality, and supply are always on point.
If you're detail-driven, calm under pressure, and proud of running a tight, clean kitchen, this role is made for you.
The Role - Back of The House
As a Back of House Crew Member, you’ll be responsible for preparing the hot and cold ingredients that fuel our famous loaded spuds.

While the Front of House team assembles orders, you’ll ensure everything they need is prepped, fresh, and ready to go.
This is a behind-the-scenes role with real responsibility - it’s about consistency, precision, and pride in getting it right.
What You’ll Do
1. Prep, Prep, Prep

● Label and store all items correctly using FIFO and food safety best practices
2. Own Stock & Supply

● Monitor stock levels and alert managers of low or missing items
● Track prep usage and help avoid waste through smart rotation and storage
3. Maintain a Clean & Safe Kitchen
● Keep all BOH areas clean, organised, and compliant with food hygiene regulations
● Complete daily and weekly cleaning tasks to standard
● Follow all health & safety and allergen procedures - zero shortcuts, zero compromises
4. Be a Reliable Team Player
● Communicate clearly with the Front of House team about what’s ready or running low
● Support your shift leader with handovers and prep planning
● Bring a can-do attitude and take pride in your space and work
