Job Description

General Manager - Branded Restaurant Group
London
50,000 - 55,000 + bonus
We're recruiting on behalf of a standout branded restaurant group that's doing things properly - fresh, flavour-led food, confident service, and sites that people genuinely want to come back to. This is a business with momentum and a clear point of view.
The Role
This General Manager role is all about ownership. You'll take the lead on a high-energy site where the food is excellent, the vibe is relaxed but polished, and the pace is fast without losing its soul. The right person will be naturally visible on the floor, great with guests, and brilliant at building teams that actually stick. You'll be trusted to run the business like it's your own - developing people, driving standards, and making sure the site is one of the strongest in the patch.
You'll be responsible for guest experience, team culture, and commercial performance - balancing volume with consistency and keeping standards high even when it's busy.
The Person
This role suits a General Manager who genuinely loves hospitality. Someone who cares about food, service and people, not just numbers - but understands the numbers inside out.

• Proven General Manager experience (minimum 2 years)
• Comfortable running 40k-70k weekly turnover sites
• Strong, stable career history with clear progression
• Hands-on leadership style - visible, present, and credible
• Commercially sharp with a guest-first mindset
• Experienced in high-volume, quality-led environments
• Naturally good at motivating, developing and retaining teams
