This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has gained their experience within an established international restaurant brand, global hospitality group or recognised casual dining chain and is ready to take on a key leadership position.

We are particularly keen to hear from managers who understand the pace, structure and commercial expectations of branded hospitality environments, where consistency, team performance and guest satisfaction are equally important.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You’ll have a proven track record in restaurant or F&B management, ideally within an international or multi-site branded business. You’ll be confident overseeing busy operations, managing financial performance and using KPIs to improve business results.

Equally important is your ability to lead from the front. You’ll know how to build strong teams, develop future leaders, handle people-related matters and create an environment where both colleagues and guests feel valued.

Previous Assistant General Manager or General Manager experience is preferred, alongside sound knowledge of P&L and budget management.

Fluent German and English are essential.

YOUR IMPACT

You’ll work alongside the senior management team to ensure the successful running of the operation, taking responsibility for maintaining standards, improving performance and delivering an outstanding hospitality experience.

From developing your management team and driving commercial results to ensuring operational excellence and building a strong team culture, you’ll play an important part in the ongoing success of the business.

THE REWARDS

• 30 days' holiday per year (based on a five-day working week).
• Performance-based bonus linked to business results.
• Access to discounted hotel stays worldwide.
• 20% discount on food and retail purchases.
• Management onboarding and development opportunities.

The position is based entirely on-site in Munich, with no remote or hybrid working arrangements. Applicants must already hold the right to work in the EU, as sponsorship cannot be provided.

Candidates already living in Munich and able to join at short notice will be particularly attractive.
