This one's big.
Think buzzing floor, serious volume, and a guest-first culture.

The role:
We’re after a Restaurant Manager who can own the floor and the figures.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading confident, sharp briefings that actually land
• Coaching waiters and runners to be brilliant, not just functional

What you bring:

• You love the floor – that’s where you shine
• You know your stuff – food, drink, numbers, people
• You’re not afraid to speak up if the dish isn’t right
• You show up for your team and lead with intent
• You’re curious, switched on, and ready to grow
