The Opportunity:

We have a rare and exciting opportunity available for a new people leader to join our business!

Why is it rare? Here at L’ETO Group, we take great pride in our internal development. Most of our in-store leaders have developed into their roles with us. This is a key part of what we are about.

Now let’s talk about your role…

In the bustling shopping district of Knightsbridge, you'll find our relaxing L'ETO in Hans Crescent.

Are you a hands‑on people leader waiting for your opportunity to grow into a Restaurant Manager where you’ll get to take full performance ownership of your branch and team?

Our Assistant Managers are tasked with running efficient operations, commercial performance and above all, strong team leadership.

You’ll complete varied activities ranging from cleaning toilets, to supporting with creating a sales growth plan for your caffe.

We are a “walk‑in” only business, we don’t need bookings to fill our restaurants!

We’re no office folk here, we expect our managers of all levels to roll up their sleeves and lead from the front. You’ll be getting fully involved in the day‑to‑day operations of your branch from hosting guests coming through the door, to taking orders.

A full Job Description will be made available to you during the hiring process.

Essential Experience:

• You’ll have worked in a leadership role in a customer facing environment
• At least 2-years working in customer facing roles
• You’ve worked in hospitality for 2 years or more
• You have experience managing from the front

It would be even better (but not essential) if:

• You have at least 2-years experience at Assistant Manager level in a table service restaurant or cafe

Can you handle the pressure of a fast turnaround, table service brunch, lunch and dining establishment?

Does this look like your next opportunity?
