• Creating an exceptional guest experience that keeps people coming back.
• Building a positive, energetic culture where people are engaged, motivated and developed.
• Maintaining outstanding operational standards while continually looking for ways to improve the business.

About You

You'll bring:

• Proven General Manager experience within a quality restaurant or casual dining business.
• A genuine passion for hospitality, people and delivering brilliant guest experiences.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience managing a full P&L.
• A hands-on leadership style – someone who's visible in the business and leads by example.
