Are you a passionate hospitality leader who thrives on ownership, accountability, and being present on the floor? Do you love leading through support, building strong teams, and being the welcoming face of a restaurant? 

NIJŪ, where Japanese tradition meets modern elegance, is seeking an exceptional General Manager to take full responsibility for our business and lead it with heart.

NIJŪ is more than a restaurant — it is an experience built on warmth, precision, and genuine care. Located on Berkeley Street in the heart of Mayfair, NIJŪ specialises in Katei Ryori–style cooking, celebrating the comfort and authenticity of home-style Japanese cuisine. Led by Culinary Director Chef Endo Kazutoshi, a third-generation sushi master, NIJŪ is driven by excellence in hospitality, culture, and guest connection.

As General Manager, you will have full accountability for the performance of NIJŪ, with the support of head office behind you. This role is ideal for a people-focused leader who loves hospitality, believes in empowering teams, and leads by example. You will be trusted to run the business as your own — nurturing talent, driving standards, and ensuring an exceptional experience for both guests and team members.

You will be visible, approachable, and hands-on — a true host who sets the tone every day.
