Description
General Manager – New Opening | London
This isn't just another restaurant opening.
This is an opportunity to lead one of the most anticipated restaurant launches of 2026.
We are creating something truly exceptional—an intimate, highly authentic Japanese dining experience where every detail matters. From the craftsmanship of the food to the warmth of the welcome, every guest interaction will be thoughtful, personal and unforgettable.
We are looking for an exceptional General Manager who shares our passion for excellence, believes that hospitality is an art, and wants to be part of building something extraordinary from day one.
About You
You are a proven hospitality leader with experience in premium or luxury restaurants.
You genuinely love restaurants—not just managing them. You are energised by service, obsessed with the guest journey and take immense pride in creating memorable experiences.
You have a deep appreciation for Japanese culture, hospitality and attention to detail. You understand that true luxury is often quiet, thoughtful and delivered with humility.
You are just as comfortable welcoming guests as you are coaching your team, solving operational challenges or ensuring every compliance standard is met.
The Role
As General Manager, you will take full ownership of the restaurant, leading every aspect of the operation while working alongside an exceptional team of hospitality professionals.
This is a hands-on leadership role. Our restaurant will operate with a close-knit team, an open kitchen and service that relies on genuine collaboration between front and back of house.
You'll be responsible for:
- Leading and inspiring a high-performing team through coaching, development and leading by example.
- Creating exceptional guest experiences that leave lasting memories.
- Managing a multi-floor operation with confidence and precision.
- Working seamlessly with the kitchen team within an open kitchen environment.
- Taking full ownership of compliance, food safety, health & safety and licensing requirements.
- Driving financial performance through labour management, cost control and commercial decision-making.
- Building a positive culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
- Maintaining the highest standards of service, presentation and operational excellence every single day.
- Representing the restaurant with pride within the local hospitality community.
We're Looking For Someone Who...
- Has significant experience leading premium or Michelin-quality restaurants.
- Is passionate about Japanese cuisine, culture and hospitality.
- Thrives in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment.
- Can confidently manage multiple priorities without compromising standards.
- Is calm, organised and highly resilient.
- Loves developing people and building exceptional teams.
- Takes ownership and accountability for every aspect of the business.
- Understands that luxury hospitality is created through consistency, precision and genuine care.
- Wants to build something people will talk about for years.
Why Join Us?
This is a rare opportunity to work alongside Endo Kazutoshi and become part of an incredible opening.
If you are happy to work in a small team this is for you!
If you are looking for another General Manager role, this probably isn't for you.
If you're looking to create something extraordinary, lead an exceptional team and become part of a restaurant that aims to set a new benchmark for Japanese hospitality in London, we'd love to hear from you.
Join us and help create what many believe will be one of the most exciting restaurant openings of 2026.
