About Hospitality & Catering

Hospitality plays a central role in the UK economy, covering hotels, restaurants, events, and tourism. Careers range from chefs and front-of-house staff to hotel managers and event planners. Employers include independent businesses, large hotel chains, and catering groups. Demand remains high for skilled professionals in customer service and food preparation. Hospitality offers variety, creativity, and people-focused roles, often with flexible working hours and opportunities worldwide. The sector continues to adapt, with sustainability, food innovation, and guest experience shaping future growth.

We’re looking for a passionate and business-minded General Manager to take the lead at a buzzy, much-loved café in Chelsea. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a thriving independent business with a loyal following, a beautiful setup (both indoor and outdoor spaces), and a talented team.

About the Venue:
This café is a true local gem, known for its warm atmosphere, and lively energy throughout the day. It’s a place where quality, personality, and community really matter.

About the Role:
We’re looking for a GM who’s both hands-on and entrepreneurial, someone who can bring fresh ideas, maximise sales, and continue to build on the café’s strong reputation. You’ll lead a team of 10+, manage P&L, oversee training and development, and work closely with the owners. A little bar experience would be a bonus, from menu tweaks to introducing new alcoholic beverage offerings, but what really matters is your drive, creativity, and people-first approach.

What We’re Looking For:

Proven experience as a General Manager in a café or similar hospitality environment
Strong business and commercial mindset, confident with P&L and sales growth
A natural leader who inspires and develops their team
Creative, proactive, and full of ideas to enhance guest experience
Positive personality who’ll fit seamlessly into a friendly, long-standing team
Passion for great food, service, and community
