Job description

Take the helm as GM and create the kind of Megan’s moments guests can’t wait to come back for.

💙 What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a powerhouse GM to take the lead at one of our much-loved neighbourhood restaurants. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love a buzzing floor, and can keep a team energised through every brunch rush and dinner peak, you’ll feel right at home with us.

Smash your targets, grow your team, and build a business that guests (and the P&L) adore.

Fresh food, high standards, big personality - it’s all part of the deal.

If you’re bold, brilliant, commercially sharp, and built for the hustle, step up. We’re ready for a star.

💙 What's in it for you?

Pay

💸 Salary package of up to £45.000 per year* (combined fixed annual salary and base tronc), plus additional, uncapped tronc potential, based on site performance. Overall, on track earnings £55.000 based on current site performance.
