General Manager – Premium Dining
London
£70,000 - £75,000 + bonus

The Client:
This is a premium, product-led restaurant that’s all about exceptional food, genuine hospitality and raising the bar.

The client is looking for a strong, visible leader to elevate the current offering and drive performance across the board.

It’s already a great space – but they want brilliant.

The Role:

• Be the face of the restaurant – lead from the floor, and build a guest experience that’s consistent, personal and best-in-class
• Work closely with chefs and leadership to refine menus and drive innovation
• Be hands-on with service – a strong floor presence is essential
• Create a high-performance culture across the FOH team
• Deliver against key financial metrics – manage rotas, margins and labour
• Ensure team training and development is a priority – coaching, not just managing
• Own the standards – systems, compliance, and the guest journey
• Handle guest feedback with confidence and care

The Person:

• Senior management experience within quality restaurants is essential
• A natural host – someone who lights up a room and thrives on busy service
• Clear communicator with strong leadership presence
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and keep standards high
• Financially astute and commercially aware
• Strong food and wine knowledge
• Passionate about people, hospitality and getting the details right

This is a flagship site – high expectations, high footfall, and high visibility.

You’ll need energy, edge, and a genuine love for the floor.
