The key objective of the Real Estate Finance Business Partner is to work alongside the Property department to influence our new restaurant growth strategy and to improve the long term profitability of our existing estate.

- Feed directly into the new restaurant opening strategy, for example delivery kitchen analysis, or analysing the potential for a carbon neutral drive-thru.
