GENERAL MANAGER – NEW OPENING
LONDON
£65,000–£70,000 INCLUSIVE OF TRONC + BONUS
I’m working on a brilliant new opening in London and looking for a General Manager to take the lead.
Opening this Winter, this is a completely new restaurant concept centred around an open grill, with around 70 covers and a much more elevated style of dining and service.
We’re looking for someone from a strong premium restaurant background who understands what great hospitality looks like, but importantly, someone who genuinely wants to get stuck into a new opening.
THE ROLE
- You’ll have full accountability for the restaurant, from commercial performance and P&L through to the guest journey, people and standards.
- You’ll work closely with the Operations team and owners through the opening period, building the team, embedding the culture and getting the restaurant ready for launch.
- There will be a Restaurant Manager alongside you, as well as Duty Managers and Supervisors, with dedicated Reception and Guest Relations leadership also being recruited.
- This is very much a hands-on GM role. We need someone who is happy being on the floor, knows their guests, develops their team and isn’t afraid to roll their sleeves up when needed.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- You’ll already be operating at General Manager level within a premium restaurant environment, ideally with experience of a new opening.
- You don’t necessarily need to come from a huge restaurant group. The level of service, guest experience and quality of operation is far more important.
- You’ll be commercially strong, comfortable with full accountability and confident leading a busy restaurant, but equally passionate about the people and guest side of the business.
- Most importantly, you need to be excited by growth.
- There are further openings already planned, and for the right person there is a genuine opportunity to grow with the business beyond this restaurant.
