Role Description
As General Manager, you really do have autonomy.
Reporting directly to the regional managers you will be accountable for the delivery of the controlled financials all through the P + L, marketing the business externally through original and aggressive campaigns, but internally you will deliver excellence of service that always ensures that the guest will come back. You will be a calming influence, and able to deliver the best your business has to offer, even under the most pressured situations. Leading from the front and by example, you will be responsible for motivating and inspiring a large and organised team especially so at peak times. It is because of this you will be keen to lead from the front lending your experience and co-ordinating the front and back of house operations. This brand model has successfully proven itself to be a multi-million pound operation, but that will only drive you further to exceed budget and achieve even better results.
Role experience
At all of the restaurants our client depends on the quality of their staff for their success. All the management team are knowledgeable, friendly and ambitious, combined with a keen interest in the environmental policies that are intrinsic to their business ethos. You really must be a very strong General Manager, with an exceptional and proven track record in business management. Having worked within similar environments that are dedicated to quality of food and level of service you fully appreciate that the guest is “king”. Preferably from a branded or themed background, you will have massive amounts of presence whilst on the floor, however you recognise that “you are what you project!” You are the most passionately driven and professionally committed individual that you know. You lead completely by example, and project “WANNA-DO” attitude in everything that you take on. Able to recognise problems both financial and team-wise, you can competently communicate at all levels and gain the perfect resolution. You love “plate spinning”, but realise that managed delegation is an excellent training tool for your team.
Obviously you will be fully conversant in health and safety legislation and be systems and standards driven. You will have a passion for getting things done systemically, correctly but most importantly completely.You will need to be able to forge strong relationships with the local business community and be able to build sales. You must have proven experience in both wet and dry operations with strong staff management experience and are a proven cost controller. If you are an all rounder who wants a new challenging, with a pro-active attitude this is the ideal opportunity for you.
