General Manager – Fast-Casual Restaurants

Exciting New Brand Hitting London

A fast-casual concept with a loyal following is arriving in London. With a strong reputation abroad for bold flavours, fresh, real food, and a buzzing atmosphere, this is more than just another opening, it’s the start of something big in the UK.

We’re looking for a General Manager who can take full ownership of the launch and build a team culture from scratch. If you’re hungry for something new, with real room to grow, this is your chance.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Recruiting, onboarding, and training your team, setting up systems, and ensuring a smooth, high-impact launch.
• Managing service, shift flow, quality standards, and overall guest experience.
• Motivating, mentoring, and developing your people to perform at their best.
• Managing labour, stock, and P&L targets while maintaining consistency and service excellence.
• Ensuring all food, service, and operational details meet high expectations — even at speed.
• Handling challenges calmly and confidently, always with solutions and the bigger picture in mind.
• Collaborating with leadership, sharing insights, feeding back from the ground, and contributing to future and rollouts.

What we’re looking for:

• You've run fast-paced restaurants and know how to manage teams, service, and systems under pressure.
• You can manage budgets, optimise labour, and keep performance on track without losing the human touch.
• You care about people, your team, your guests, your community, and lead with that energy.
• You’re on the floor, setting the tone, and making sure every plate and shift hits the mark.
• You want to grow with the business as it expands.

What’s on offer:

• £55,000 all-in – Includes Tronc. Transparent, competitive pay from the start.
• You’ll lead the first UK site with real autonomy and the chance to shape its future.
• With more sites to come, this role could easily lead to multi-site or senior leadership positions.
• You’ll work alongside an experienced leadership team that values your voice and backs your vision.
• A people-first, purpose-driven environment with high standards and zero ego.
• The brand is established, but there’s room to make it your own and influence how it grows in the UK.
