- Manage staff recruitment, training, rotas, and performance
- Control costs, manage stock, and deliver strong P&L results
- Ensure full compliance with health & safety and food hygiene standards
- Work with Business Development to promote the site and drive local engagement

- Experience as a General Manager or strong Assistant General Manager in a busy restaurant or pub
- Passion for hospitality and a guest-first mindset
- Proven ability to lead, train, and retain a high-performing team
- Confident in financial reporting, stock control, and operational planning
- Calm under pressure with strong problem-solving skills
