It would depend on how it is organised. A typical fast food restaurant will have an owner/manager who will also have duty managers for each shift, and then team leaders for each segment and then those that do much of the work. All in a total number of people of 30 to 50 depending on size of store. Though you could probably ignore the team leaders as they are more likely to be simply senior workers on a slightly higher rate of pay. So could have simply three levels layers of staff, or two levels of management. Even with 500 staff you could simplify it considerably to a couple of levels. You would start at the top with the board of directors, then below that departmental managers. All at the same level basically but with different importance depending on the nature of the business. Then those managers will be responsible for up to a few dozen people, but with the odd team leader but depending on roles they may not be management.

My local acute hospitals trust advertised for a Marketing Director.

The salary was £45k
