The Opportunity

A genuinely exciting opportunity to join one of London's most impressive and talked-about restaurant groups as General Manager for a brand-new opening in London. The group already operates three successful sites, with a further three openings planned across London as part of an ambitious period of growth

• This is not a cookie-cutter restaurant operation. The existing sites are beautifully designed, exceptionally well executed and known for delivering some of the best food in London. The new opening will be a standout venue and an important part of the group's next phase
• We are looking for an experienced, commercially minded General Manager who can take ownership of the opening, build an exceptional team and establish the restaurant as a major London destination
• You will work closely with the founders and senior leadership team, playing a key role in shaping the culture, guest experience and commercial performance of the new site
• This is a hands-on leadership role. We are looking for someone who loves being on the floor, understands great food and service, and can inspire a team while still having a strong commercial head

The General Manager Role

• Lead the pre-opening and launch of the new London restaurant
• Take full ownership of the day-to-day operation and guest experience
• Drive sales, revenue and profitability against agreed budgets and targets
• Work closely with the founders to develop and grow the business
• Maintain exceptionally high standards across food, service and operations
• Be visible and hands-on, leading from the front rather than managing from an office
• Support the wider group as it continues to expand across London
• Develop a strong local customer base and drive repeat business
• Manage the P&L and ensure the restaurant delivers strong commercial result

The Right Person

A genuine foodie and hands-on operator, you’ll have the commercial understanding to drive sales and profitability while delivering an exceptional guest experience. You’ll be a natural leader who enjoys building teams, confident working closely with founders and senior stakeholders, and bring the energy and ambition needed to make a new opening a success. This is a great opportunity to join a high-quality, founder-led group at an exciting stage of growth and make your mark on a standout new London restaurant.
