GENERAL MANAGER – CASUAL DINING

Cambridge

£52,000 – £55,000 + Bonus

I’m working with a brilliant, high-energy restaurant concept in Cambridge that is looking for an experienced General Manager to take the lead at one of its key sites.

This is a busy, quality-led operation, so I’m looking for someone who loves being on the floor, knows how to build a great team and can balance brilliant hospitality with strong commercial performance.

THE ROLE

• You’ll have full ownership of the restaurant, from the people and guest experience through to sales, labour and overall profitability.
• You’ll be visible on the floor, setting the pace during busy services and making sure standards are consistently high.
• People will be a huge part of the role.
  
  You’ll recruit, coach and develop your team, creating a positive culture with clear expectations, accountability and opportunities to progress.
• Commercially, you’ll own the P&L and understand what drives your business – managing labour and costs, protecting margin and finding opportunities to grow sales.

THE PERSON

I’m looking for an established General Manager with experience in a busy, quality-led casual dining.

You’ll be:

• A strong, hands-on operator who genuinely enjoys being on the floor
• Confident managing a high-volume restaurant and a sizeable team
• Commercially switched on with solid P&L experience
• Brilliant with people – able to recruit, develop and retain a strong team
• Guest obsessed, with a real understanding of what great hospitality looks like

Comfortable working in a fast-paced business with plenty of ambition

If you’re a GM in Cambridge – or looking to make the move – I’d love to hear from you.
