Meet the Crew - Oscar

Applying for a Store Manager’s position was one of the best decisions Oscar has ever made, as he has now moved up the ranks from working on the grill and onto Store Manager for our flagship store, BurgerFuel Ponsonby. With a passion for anything full throttle, Oscar also loves to see people smile. He reckons it's the best part about his role, seeing a customer, fellow staff member or even the delivery person, smiling as they leave his store. 

‍

How did you first get involved with BurgerFuel?

Friends! I first started at BurgerFuel Ellerslie because two of my best friends worked there and told me how much fun it was.

‍

What was the thing that attracted you the most to BurgerFuel?

‍As someone who loves cars, I was immediately drawn to the high octane, fast paced culture at BurgerFuel. Simply the fact that I was saving to buy a Ford XR6 by making Ford Freakouts was also a good enough reason for me!

‍

What do you tell your mates and family about BurgerFuel, what are the perks and best parts of being part of the store staff? Honestly? I tell them about everything, I have a habit of talking too much about the things I'm passionate about. Those close to me would probably tell you the same.

‍

What motivates and makes you proud to represent the BurgerFuel brand?

The main thing that motivates me is just making people smile. Whether it's my staff, our customers, or the boss, making people smile is what gives me the drive to keep moving forward! 

‍

What is one of the greatest opportunities BurgerFuel has given you?

There are too many to count so I'll just name a few: Working at Northern Bass, getting the chance to listen to my favourite artists, right next to the main stage while also breaking the record for most burgers sold in a single day! Helping open BurgerFuel Whangarei, meeting their team and helping them get adjusted to the new sensation up north. Driving one of BurgerFuels famous classic cars after the Kumeu Hot Rod Show! And the chance to manage a company owned store; BurgerFuel Ponsonby.

‍

What is one thing you would say to any potential individual who is looking to work at BurgerFuel?

‍Give it a go! Whether it's gonna be your side hustle next to high school/uni, or if it's your full-time gig, it's heaps of fun and there are always opportunities to improve yourself!

Jason Lowery - BurgerFuel Country Manager

“Oscar lives and breathes BurgerFuel and leads by example. He is an outstanding role model to his peers, and I specifically remember what he said to me in his interview, he stood out straight away. I thought at first it was a little cheeky, but we are a zillions times better off having him in our brand. I think he is just rad and should cloning become a thing, we’ll be first in line to replicate him.”

Varun Oberoi – BurgerFuel Area Manager

“Oscar loves to take advice from his superiors, with proper guidance and coaching. He takes initiative to execute and takes things on board, he deals with problems professionally and always leads by example. I still remember telling him on his day 1 while going through shop manager training “don’t f*ck it up” and since then, he's excelled and has always stood out. He loves his motorsport,  F1 especially and he replicates our full throttle nature out on the racetrack occasionally.”
