Job description

Our people are the heart and soul of what we do, making us stand out in a crowded food scene. Sure, our stunning interiors and delicious dishes inspired by sunny destinations are amazing (take a look at our Insta or stop on by), but ask anyone here the best part about working at Megan’s and they’ll tell you: it’s the amazing team!

With new locations popping up in fantastic neighbourhoods across the South, we're on the hunt for a Restaurant Manager to help lead our beautiful site in Megan's at the Griffin (Kingston).

What’s in it for you?

• Pay: Salary of up to £36,000 OTE per year including tronc.
• Amazing performance related bonus worth up to £4000 (accrued monthly, paid quarterly).
• Genuine work/life balance– no late nights and paid overtime.
• 50% off when visiting with your friends & family.
• Amazing team socials.
• Long service awards.
• Access to our comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme including a free, confidential helpline/webchat available all day, every day of the year.
• Early access to your pay if needed through WageStream.
• All the good stuff you’d expect - auto-enrolment in our pension scheme, free fantastic meals & bottomless drinks on shifts.
• Ongoing professional training and development, with real career progression.
• Freedom to get involved with new openings.
• Opportunity to move between sites and grow with the group.

Reporting to the General Manager, we’re looking for an ambitious Restaurant Manager to help lead our beautiful site. You’ll need to be passionate about looking after guests, ensuring fantastic service and a great vibe whilst training & inspiring a happy team. Ideally, you’ll have worked in a similar full table service environment, so we’d love to hear from you if you’ve spent time running a restaurant or gastro pub, but if you’ve got a different background that doesn’t need to stop you from joining us!

About us…

• An independently-owned, dog-friendly collection of over 20 neighbourhood restaurants open for brunch, lunch, dinner & cocktails.
• Passionate about serving delicious fresh food inspired by the Mediterranean and made with the highest quality ingredients.
• Exciting growth plans, meaning amazing opportunities for your career development.
• Regular team parties – work hard, play harder!
• A diverse and inclusive company that makes sure everyone is genuinely welcome.
• Focused on supporting local charities and really being a force for good in our communities.

If you’re ready to be part of our amazing team then take the next step in your career and apply to be a Restaurant Manager today!
