DONER SHACK – Gordon Street
KEBABS. CHICKEN. FRIES.
That’s the menu.
The ambition goes a lot further.
Doner Shack began with a 48-hour trip to Berlin. The culture. The flavour. The way kebabs were treated not as late-night food, but as a craft. That experience changed everything. What followed was a decision to bring that energy back to the UK and build something bigger, bolder, and global.
Today, Doner Shack is expanding rapidly, and we're building a leadership team to match that momentum. Following the successful opening of Doner Shack West End in April, we're now bringing the brand to the heart of Glasgow city centre.
We're looking for an exceptional General Manager to lead our newest location and play a key role in the next chapter of our growth.

- Never settles for “good enough”
- Shares a genuine passion for food, hospitality, and fast-paced environments

As General Manager, you will:
- Take full ownership of day-to-day restaurant operations

- Recruit, train, coach, and develop a high-performing crew
