Restaurant Manager – Independent Dining

East London | £45,000-£48,000

We’re working with a brilliant East London restaurant that’s built a reputation for quality – buzzing floor, cracking food, and a loyal local following.

They’re now looking for a Restaurant Manager to run the show day-to-day. It’s a proper role for someone who gets what great food and service looks like and isn’t afraid to set the standard. This is an independent group, but they’re slick – if you’ve worked in quality branded restaurants or premium independents, you’ll hit the ground running.

You’ll be leading the front-of-house team, making sure service flows, the atmosphere stays electric, and the team feel supported and proud of what they’re doing. You’ll be trusted to get stuck in, spot what’s not right, and sort it – with autonomy and support in equal measure.

Who we’re looking for:

• Someone who knows how to run a floor and loves doing it
• Calm under pressure, with a sharp eye and genuine warmth
• Can lead a team, manage the room, and keep standards consistently high
• Loves hospitality – and wants to be part of a proper food-led operation
