Job description

Let’s cut the small talk. Homies on Donkeys isn’t your standard taco spot, and we’re not looking for your standard GM. We want a leader who moves like they belong in a kitchen and a cumbia pit — sharp, steady, and never missing a beat.

If you can hold down a buzzing floor, vibe with the crew, and juggle spreadsheets like they’re limes at a margarita bar, then read on. This ain’t about ticking boxes. It’s about running a place that hits hard and feels like home.

What you’ll be doing:

• Run the floor like it’s your stage. Lead every service with pace, presence and control.

• Push the numbers. You’re always thinking: more covers, higher spend, more return visits.

• Lead the crew. Hire, train, and fire up a FOH team who love the hustle like you do.

• Keep the vibes high. Make guests feel welcome, looked after, and hyped to come back.

• Own the ops. Rotas, reporting, stock, compliance, with solid support tools like Planday, Goodtill, and ResDiary.

• Drive the brand. From events to promotions to new ideas, you don’t wait for instructions, you make it happen.

You’ll need:

• 2+ years in a GM or Assistant GM role, ideally in high-volume, casual dining.

• A sharp head for sales and numbers, and the hustle to back it up.

• A hands-on leadership style. You’re on the floor, not hiding in the office.

• Big energy, zero ego.

• Real love for food, music, culture, and creating a space people want to come back to.

What’s In It for You:

• Salary based on experience.

• 40–48 hours per week (flexible where it counts)

• ️ Staff meals, social events, and a creative, energetic culture

• A role with real impact, help shape the future of one of London’s most loved taquerías

• No corporate nonsense. Just tacos, tunes, and a team that loves what they do.

Your Challenge

This ain’t your average job app. Along with your CV, please send us:

• A short video (3 mins or less), or

• A few paragraphs about your favourite restaurant or bar experience. Tell us what made it unforgettable!
