Job description

ABOUT DAISY GREEN FOOD

Daisy Green Food is an independent London-based hospitality group bringing relaxed, vibrant Australian food and coffee culture to the city. Founded in 2012 by Prue Freeman and Tom Onions, we've grown from street food beginnings into a collection of unique cafés, restaurants and venues across London — each one individually designed to become a true local destination.

Our menus are made in-house from fresh, seasonal ingredients, blending Mediterranean flavours with Asian influences. Quality and simplicity are at the heart of everything we cook. Our spaces are energetic, welcoming and built around community — places where guests feel genuinely at home, and where our teams feel supported and inspired to grow.

THE ROLE

As General Manager, you'll take full ownership of your venue — leading your team with confidence, consistency and warmth. You'll set the standard for what great looks like: operationally sharp, commercially aware, and always putting people first.

This is a hands‑on role. You'll step into any position on the floor when the business needs it, and you'll build a team capable of running smoothly in your absence. You'll drive performance through clear communication, honest feedback and a genuine belief in the people around you.

You'll bring a thorough understanding of our systems, financials and company standards — monitoring COGS and labour daily, weekly and monthly — while ensuring your management team is fully trained to do the same. And you'll deliver the Daisy Green experience every guest deserves: warm, energetic and genuinely unconditional.

THE PERSON

You're the kind of person who doesn't wait to be asked. You take ownership, follow through and bring real energy to the room — without making a big deal of it.

You're passionate about hospitality and about the Daisy Green brand. You lead by example, stay calm under pressure and know how to get the best out of the people around you. You're creative enough to spot an opportunity and grounded enough to make it happen.

Above all, you say yes — to the team, to the guest, to the challenge.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the day‑to‑day operations of the restaurant, ensuring smooth, consistent delivery of company standards
• Motivate, coach and develop the team to achieve sales targets and maintain excellence
• Step confidently into any position within the restaurant when required
• Maintain outstanding product knowledge across all food and beverage offerings
• Ensure full compliance with the Daisy Green Allergy Policy
• Uphold all health & safety and food hygiene regulations
• Manage staffing levels reactively and proactively, including rota planning and cover
• Oversee ordering, stock control and inventory management
• Monitor and manage financial performance, including labour and cost of goods
• Produce and review reports in line with company expectations

WHAT WE OFFER

• Up to £65,000 per annum including Tronc and monthly bonuses
• 25% off food and drink at any Daisy Green venue
• Staff food and coffee on shift; complimentary drink after
• Free gym membership
• Company social events — seasonal parties and team outings
• Training days with outstanding food and drinks brands
