On the National Route des Quatre-Vents, the future Burger King is starting to take shape. Recruitment is already launched.
In front of the vast land bordering the national road, Christophe Vincent observes the discreet ballet of construction machinery. In a few months, at this still empty location, the new Burger King restaurant will be raised with determination. Thanks to 3D modeling, the franchisee has already been able to project himself into this place where he invests the equivalent of real estate. “This is a whole house that I put in this project,” says the forties, aware of the issues.
Former framework in insurance at AXA, he discovered a late vocation for fast food, following a fortuitous meeting. From this conversion was born a certainty: “This profession is a real school of the second chance”, explains the franchisee. A human dimension which he intends to preserve at the heart of this establishment. Friday April 11, a first day of recruitment was held in a municipal hall kindly made available by the town hall of Cosnes-et-Romain.
Five to six posts to be filled
This session was dedicated to the selection of future managers, whose particularly demanding training requires early start. “It spreads between two and ten weeks, so you have to get ahead,” explains the franchisee. Five to six positions are to be filled at this stage. Regarding versatile team members, around sixty, in total, will be recruited a little later. Their training only for about five weeks. Ultimately, it is up to seventy positions that will be created, mainly part-time, which will notably allow students of the IUT and vocational high schools around access to a job suitable for their pace.
The choice of the site has imposed itself on him, but Christophe Vincent now perceives all the potential. Nestled between Belgium, Luxembourg and northern Meurthe-et-Moselle, the restaurant will benefit from a strategic geographic position. There remains a particular vigilance to the environment: “We are aware of the proximity of the fields and the highway. Not a paper should drag. We will watch out, ”says Thionvillois.
