Food Truck Manager – St Ives Harbour (2026 Season)
We are seeking a motivated and dynamic Food Truck Manager to run one of our busy pizza trucks for summer 2026. Situated right on the edge of St Ives harbour, overlooking the sea, this role offers not only an incredible workplace location but also the chance to lead a talented team in a fun and professional environment.
As Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing a team of two to five staff each evening, ensuring smooth operations and excellent customer experiences. Supported by our General Manager, you’ll be empowered to lead with confidence, driving performance when needed, while also knowing when to let the team relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
While food industry experience is an advantage, it’s not essential, we’ll teach you how to make outstanding pizza. What is essential is prior leadership experience in managing people, and the ability to inspire and guide a young, capable team.
At Stoned Pizza, we believe in creating memorable experiences for both our customers and staff. Our teams are often made up of college and university students aged 16–21, many of whom return year after year. You’ll be leading a group of talented, enthusiastic pizza-makers who already know their craft.
Training and support:
- A one-week induction at one of our busiest sites
- Ongoing training and development through monthly Manager Team meetings at our Central Kitchen, where you’ll share best practices, learn, and connect with other supervisors
Since 2020, Stoned has grown rapidly, now operating over six food trucks along the South West’s north coast, employing more than 50 seasonal staff. Our mission is simple: to employ great people, in inspiring coastal locations, serving wood-fired pizza and creating special memories for everyone.
