OPERATIONS MANAGER – Expanding Restaurant Business
LONDON
UP TO £80,000 PLUS

A growing hospitality business is looking for an Operations Manager to help take an established concept into its next stage of expansion. This is a chance to shape how the business grows, putting the people, systems and standards in place to support a successful rollout.

We’re looking for someone who has helped a business expand through new openings, understands what needs to happen before the doors open and knows how to get a new team trading confidently.

THE ROLE

You’ll get close to the existing operation, understanding what makes it work and building a practical framework that can be taken into future locations.
You’ll lead the operational delivery of new openings, building management teams, planning resources and supporting each site through launch and into consistent trading.
As the business expands, you’ll take responsibility for performance across the growing estate, developing General Managers and keeping a close eye on sales, labour, margins and guest experience.
This is a visible, hands-on role. You’ll be on the floor, working alongside teams and making sure standards translate into the day-to-day operation, with compliance, maintenance and site presentation firmly under control.

THE PERSON

You’ll have experience supporting a hospitality business through expansion, with direct involvement in new openings and developing the structure around a growing operation.
You’ll know how to turn a strong concept into a repeatable operation while protecting the things guests love about it.
Commercially confident and comfortable making decisions, you’ll bring clear communication, strong people leadership and the organisation to keep several projects moving.
You’ll enjoy a business that is still evolving, take ownership and be as comfortable working through the detail on site as planning the next opening.
