Job description

Do you live and breathe exceptional hospitality?

Are you a natural leader with a calm, confident energy?

Do you love creating unforgettable dining experiences and inspiring your team to do so?

At RED Hotels, we believe food should be joyful, considered, and memorable. Our Scarlet Restaurant Manager is key to curating this experience - balancing elegant service, mindful leadership, and a deep respect for people and place.

Set in our tranquil, adults-only Scarlet Hotel, our 2 Rosette restaurant offers thoughtful dining with a focus on sustainability and seasonal produce. The views are stunning, the pace is purposeful, and the team is passionate.

What makes a RED Restaurant Manager?

Are you experienced in restaurant leadership, with an eye for detail and a heart for hospitality?
Can you mentor and inspire a warm, professional team to deliver five-star service every time?
Are you excited to contribute to the growth of a rosetted dining experience in a truly unique coastal setting?

We’re looking for a leader who brings both strategy and soul to the restaurant floor. Someone who can guide the team through the flow of each day while nurturing high standards, smooth operations, and an enjoyable working culture.

What will you be doing?

• Leading your team to deliver thoughtful, seamless service - from breakfast through to dinner.

• Working closely with kitchen, bar, and event teams to ensure fluid communication and guest experience

• Recruiting, developing, and mentoring your team with care and clarity.

• Maintaining high standards of quality control, hygiene, health, and safety.

• Supporting food & beverage operations with effective planning, reporting, and cost management.

• Driving financial performance by managing costs and identifying sales opportunities.

• Creating a calm, positive environment where your team and guests can thrive.

• Reporting to the F&B Operations Manager and supporting the broader departmental goals.

Who are we looking for?

You’ll have strong restaurant management experience (rosette experience is a bonus but not essential). You will be solutions-focused, organised, and passionate about creating memorable guest journeys and happy teams.

You’ll also be:

• A natural communicator who thrives in a team-led environment

• Calm under pressure, and confident in a fast-paced service setting

• Able to lead by example and set high standards for others to follow

• Proactive and collaborative, with a focus on innovation and continuous improvement

Why join us?

As a family-owned, independent Cornish business, we put people first. Whether you’re a guest or a team member, we want everyone to feel welcome, inspired, and well looked after.

When you join RED Hotels, you get:

• £33,633 PA plus tips

• A 40-hour week with a fair balance of mornings and evenings - expect to see both sunrise and sunset in your week

• Time off in lieu or overtime pay if you work over your contracted hours

• A nurturing and people-focused working environment

• Learning and career progression opportunities

• 28 days holiday per year (29 after 1 year)

• Long service scheme – enjoy a complimentary stay at Bedruthan after your first year

• 40% off food, drinks, and hotel services

• Local partnership discounts

• Health Shield Healthcare Plan

• Team accommodation available

At Red Hotels, we believe in the power of unity—working as One Team, where every individual’s contribution matters.
