Assistant General Manager – Independent Neighbourhood Restaurant

North London – Up to £47,000

Looking for your next step in a proper, hands-on role? This one’s a little gem.

Think seriously good food, buzzing with locals, and no corporate fluff in sight.

Just a cracking little restaurant that’s growing – and needs the right AGM to help take it there.

The vibe:
This is the go-to spot in the neighbourhood.

Casual and lively, but with a premium product and real attention to detail.

A proper local favourite – small in size, but big on quality, warmth, and personality.

The role:
You’ll be running the floor, leading the FOH team, and working closely with the founders to keep everything slick and standards high.

You’ll be a face of the restaurant – warm, switched-on, and always guest-first.

This is a brilliant role if you want more exposure and room to grow – the founders are hands-on, supportive, and scaling the business.

This position is set to move into a GM role and with further sites on the horizon this could be a huge growth path for you.

What we’re looking for:

• Someone who lives and breathes neighbourhood hospitality – you love that small-but-mighty, community-focused energy
• A proper food and drink lover – you get excited about a killer menu and an interesting wine list
• WSET Level 2+ would be a big plus – wine is a key part of the guest journey here
• Ideally local-ish – this is a community restaurant with a big regular following, and you’ll need to be present
• Confident on the floor – visible, natural with guests, calm under pressure
• Naturally kind and humble – not here for ego, just here to make people feel good
• Someone who’s hungry to learn – you’ll get real exposure to the business side and a seat at the table as the group grows
