Job description

FRONT OF HOUSE MANAGER – CAMBRIDGE (DAY SHIFTS ONLY)

My client is offering a rare opportunity to step into a Front of House Manager role where you can genuinely make your mark from day one. This is a brand‑new restaurant environment, opened in June 2025, offering the chance to shape standards, culture and guest experience from the ground up.

With real investment behind the business and excellent growth opportunities ahead, my client offers a platform where ambition is recognised and progression is actively supported. This Front of House Manager position gives you scale, influence and visibility that few hospitality roles can match.

Role Overview

As Front of House Manager, you will be at the heart of a vibrant, high‑footfall restaurant, leading a large and diverse front‑of‑house team and working closely with a supportive Café Manager who is invested in your development. The role offers the chance to step up into a senior operational leadership position, using your people skills, commercial awareness and passion for service to drive exceptional guest experiences. You will naturally enjoy being present on the floor, coaching supervisors, hosting guests and setting the tone for service in a fast‑paced, professional and welcoming environment.

This role would suit a Front of House Manager ready for a bigger operation, or an ambitious Assistant Manager keen to take full ownership of a large team and operation.

Package & Benefits

• Salary of £35,000 – £40,000 per annum (DOE)
• Day shifts only
• Permanent, full‑time position with long‑term stability
• Genuine progression and development opportunities as the business grows
• The chance to lead within a brand‑new restaurant with significant investment

My client is passionate about creating places people love to visit and teams people are proud to be part of. They believe in promoting from within, supporting their managers and giving leaders the autonomy to build high‑performing, positive cultures. As Front of House Manager, you will be trusted to lead, encouraged to grow and supported as you develop your career within an expanding hospitality business.
