Job Description:

The Client: This is a premium, product-led restaurant focusing on exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and raising the bar. The client seeks a strong, visible leader to elevate the current offering and drive performance. It’s already a great space, but they want brilliance.

The Role:

• Be the face of the restaurant – lead from the floor, and build a guest experience that’s consistent, personal, and best-in-class.
• Work closely with chefs and leadership to refine menus and innovate.
• Be hands-on with service – a strong floor presence is essential.
• Create a high-performance culture across the FOH team.
• Deliver against key financial metrics – manage rotas, margins, and labour.
• Prioritize team training and development – coaching, not just managing.
• Own standards – systems, compliance, and guest journey.
• Handle guest feedback confidently and with care.

The Person:

• Senior management experience within quality restaurants is essential.
• A natural host – someone who lights up a room and thrives on busy service.
• Clear communicator with a strong leadership presence.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and uphold high standards.
• Financially astute and commercially aware.
• Strong food and wine knowledge.
• Passionate about people, hospitality, and attention to detail.

This is a flagship site – high expectations, footfall, and visibility. You’ll need energy, edge, and a genuine love for the floor.
