About the Role – General Manager, Byron Cambridge

At Byron, we serve Proper Burgers with Proper Personality – and it all starts with our people. As General Manager of our Cambridge restaurant, you'll be the heartbeat of the business, leading a passionate team and creating memorable experiences for every guest, every time.

You’ll be the one who brings it all together – brilliant food, buzzing service, and a culture where your team can thrive. This isn’t just about managing a restaurant – it’s about building something you’re proud of, right in the heart of this iconic city.

What You’ll Do:

Lead, inspire and develop your team to deliver consistently excellent service

Champion food quality and ensure guests leave full and happy

Create a culture where people want to work – and stay

Drive sales, control costs and run a profitable restaurant (with full support)

Apply emotional intelligence and a people-first approach to every decision

Be resilient, agile, and always lead by example

What You Won’t Be:

We’re not looking for a spreadsheet wizard locked away in an office. Yes, you’ll be commercial and results-focused – but your biggest wins will come from building a team that loves what they do, and guests who can’t wait to come back.

What You’ll Get:

A great bonus structure, tied to clear and achievable goals

Regular salary reviews – we reward performance properly

Participation in our TRONC scheme – earn a fair share of tips and service charge

50% off food for you and your friends/family

Staff socials, team events and a culture that feels more like a crew than a company

Ongoing development opportunities – we invest in our leaders

Why Byron?

We’re a business that believes in doing things properly. That means proper food, proper people, and a properly good time – for our guests and our teams.

At Byron Cambridge, you won’t be just a number. You’ll have real influence, real freedom, and the chance to make a real impact.
