About the Business

Our client is a well-loved, independent restaurant group with a strong reputation across London. Built on a clear culinary identity and a genuine passion for hospitality, the brand has grown steadily to multiple sites across the capital, with further openings planned.

The business is backed by hospitality investors and is in a genuine growth phase making this a rare opportunity to join a brand with real momentum, strong founder involvement, and a clear path for career progression as the estate expands.

• Owning site-level P&L, including labour, GP and cost control
• Recruiting, training and developing a strong, engaged team
• Maintaining brand standards across food, service, cleanliness and compliance
• Working closely with senior leadership on site performance and growth initiatives
• Building strong relationships with regular guests and the local community

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as a General Manager (or strong Assistant General Manager ready to step up) in a high-volume, quality-led restaurant environment
• A genuine passion for food, hospitality and team culture
• Strong commercial acumen and confidence managing budgets and P&L
• A natural leader who leads from the floor and brings out the best in their team
• Experience in a fast-paced, independent or multi-site restaurant group is a plus

What's on offer

• The opportunity to join a fast-growing, founder-led restaurant group at an exciting stage of expansion
• Genuine progression opportunities as new sites open
