Restaurant Manager - Exciting New Opening (Day Times Only) up to £36,000

Step into a brand-new Restaurant Manager role where you'll have the unique opportunity to build something special from the ground up. This isn't just another management position – it's your chance to shape the culture, establish operational excellence, and create a lasting impact from day one. My client is launching an exciting new venue and needs a dynamic leader to take full ownership of this fresh start, providing you the platform to implement your vision and management style without inheriting someone else's challenges.

This Restaurant Manager position offers you the opportunity to lead a new team in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment where your leadership skills will truly shine. You'll take complete ownership of front-of-house operations, driving performance through analysis of sales and labour reports, while building a positive working culture that attracts and retains top talent. The role also involves recruitment, onboarding, and team development, as well as managing budgets and controlling costs with your commercial acumen.

If you're someone who thrives on problem-solving, enjoys working with numbers, and has a genuine passion for hospitality, this role will allow you to utilise these skills in a rewarding, hands-on leadership position.

What this role offers for your career:

• Competitive salary package, up to £36,000
• The satisfaction of building a successful operation from scratch
• Full autonomy to implement your management approach
• Opportunity to recruit and develop your ideal team

My client operates successful venues known for their commitment to operational excellence and outstanding guest experiences. They value strong leadership and are looking for a Restaurant Manager who shares their passion for hospitality. The team environment is supportive yet results-driven, where your expertise in payroll audits, performance management, and team development will be appreciated. You will work independently, with the backing of an experienced operational management team that trusts their Restaurant Managers to deliver exceptional results.

If you're ready to take on this exciting challenge and build something truly special, I would love to hear from you. This new opening won't wait long for the right candidate.
