As the business continues to grow and expand internationally, they are now looking for a strong operational leader to take full control of the day-to-day business and drive the restaurant to even greater levels of success.
This is not a traditional Restaurant Manager role. The business already has an established Restaurant Manager, Assistant Manager, Head Chef, and Sous Chef in place. They are now seeking someone who can oversee the entire operation, lead the management team, maximise business performance, and be fully trusted to run the restaurant independently while ownership focuses on global expansion.

Key responsibilities include:

• Driving sales growth and increasing customer traffic
• Maximising operational efficiency and profitability
• Leading, motivating, and developing the management and wider restaurant team
• Maintaining exceptional service standards and customer satisfaction
• Implementing strategies to increase repeat business and overall performance
• Taking full accountability for the restaurant''s success in the owners'' absence
• Delivering record-breaking results through strong leadership and commercial focus
• Ensuring the restaurant consistently operates at the highest level

The Ideal Candidate
Our client is looking for a confident, ambitious, and hands-on hospitality professional with strong operational and commercial experience.
The ideal candidate will have:

• Proven experience in a senior hospitality or restaurant operations role
• Strong leadership and people management skills
• A commercially driven mindset with a passion for achieving results
• Experience increasing sales, customer footfall, and business performance
• The ability to take ownership and manage the business independently
• High standards, strong organisational skills, and attention to detail
• A proactive and hands-on leadership style
• Experience within high-volume or premium dining environments would be highly advantageous

Salary & Benefits

• Basic salary between £40,000 - £50,000
• The client would ideally appoint at the lower end of the salary range initially, with clear and achievable performance-based incentives designed to increase total earnings to £50,000+
• Excellent long-term growth opportunity within an internationally expanding restaurant group
• Opportunity to play a key leadership role in the continued success and growth of the business

This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious Operations Manager looking to make a genuine impact within a fast-growing and restaurant brand.
