From £60,000 per year + bonus/KPI Incentives TBC (Circa £10,000 per year after probation period)

This is a business that already runs well — three established locations open daytime only, a strong following and brand presence supported by a small and highly experienced leadership team. What it needs now is someone who is hands-on, understands how an upmarket cafe restaurant operates with the career experience that brings with it an attention to detail and leadership to ensure the business and teams deliver an exceptional guest experience. If that's you — if you'd rather be on the floor solving the day to day challenges and supporting the senior leadership underpinned by great structure and process — this is worth a conversation.

The Opportunity:

You'll be the person the General Managers call when something's gone wrong, and the person who can step into the floor and support service without missing a beat. You will have intimate knowledge of the businesses with full responsibility and accountability for the multi-site PnL, the blueprint SOPs that support the operations and the senior cafe GMs leading full business and management reviews week to week. You will have the autonomy to move between the various locations supporting the challenges and driving growth in preparation for the new-opening plans ahead.

The Business:

A small, founder-led group of premium daytime café and brunch restaurants in London — design-led spaces, a health-conscious, ingredient-focused menu, and a loyal following built site by site rather than bought with marketing spend. Three sites are trading well today, with a fourth — larger than anything the group has opened before — in the pipeline for the year ahead. The founders are still hands-on and close to the business; this isn't a corporate structure, it's a growing independent that wants someone who can help it scale without losing what makes it work. Not a structure of hierarchy but rather a group led by a one-team mentality.

What You'll Do:

- Be the operational backbone across every site — able to assess the state of a restaurant on walking in, and run a shift yourself if the situation calls for it

- Support the General Managers directly — coaching, performance reviews, and genuinely developing them, not just holding them to targets

- Own the commercial numbers that matter — gross profit, labour cost, covers and meal-time duration, average spend — and turn what the data tells you into action on the floor

- Be the buffer that frees up your GMs — absorbing the operational and technical problems (till systems, supplier issues, whatever it is) so they can stay focused on their teams and their guests

- Play a genuine role in the group's growth — recruitment, new site openings, stakeholder relationships, and being comfortable presenting to investors as the business expands

About You:

- Either an experienced multi-site Operations Manager who has already run several locations for a comparable premium, independent food-and-beverage business — or a standout General Manager from a larger, complex, multi-facetted and well-respected restaurant group; ready to step up into your first multi-site role and bring fresh, systems-minded thinking with you

- Genuinely hands-on — you'd rather solve the problem on the floor than manage it from a spreadsheet

- Commercially fluent — comfortable owning GP, labour cost and the operational metrics that actually move a restaurant's performance

- A natural mentor — GMs trust you, come to you, and get better under you

- Ready for a business that's growing, and excited by the idea of shaping how it scales rather than inheriting a finished structure

What's on Offer:

- From £60,000 per year + bonus/KPI Incentives TBC (Circa £10,000 per year after probation period)

- A genuine seat at the table in a founder-led business, with real influence over how it grows

- The chance to shape a senior operations role from the ground up, in a business that's actively investing in its next chapter

Assistant General Manager — Daytime Service, Edinburgh
£50,000 to £60,000 per year package (£40K basic + £10K Service/Tronc + £10K potential bonus KPI)

A busy, well-established independent restaurant and bar in central Edinburgh, with a strong reputation for its evening service. The daytime trade is high-volume and has grown quickly, and it's ready for the same level of structure behind it: service standards, training, induction and a documented progression path for the team.

The Opportunity:

You'll own the daytime operation from 7am or 8am each day, leading the shift and reporting into the General Manager. The role requires someone who has an eye for detail and an obsession to deliver an exceptional guest experience — across service standards, SOPs, grooming and presentation, induction and onboarding for new starters, and a documented progression path the team can see and work towards. You'll have real ownership over how the daytime side is run day to day.

Hours run early, and the operation needs someone genuinely flexible with that in practice, not just on paper — this is a demanding, hands-on shift pattern. Whilst this is mostly a daytime service leadership role, you will need to be fully flexible and able to work on any shift on any day when needed.

The Business:

An independent restaurant and bar in central Edinburgh, open through the day and into the evening. The daytime trade is busy and casual, and the ambition is to bring genuine structure and attention to detail to it without turning it into something it isn't. This isn't about fine dining — it's genuine hospitality with real attention to detail: warmth, eye contact, service that doesn't hide behind British reserve. Done well, high-potential people thrive inside clear structure and standards — that's the thinking behind this hire.

What You'll Do:

- Build and embed service standards for the daytime team — the structure and consistency a growing operation needs
- Design and run induction and onboarding for every new starter
- Own grooming and presentation standards across the daytime team
- Create a documented progression path so people can see where the role goes next
- Coach and mentor on the floor day to day — attention to detail is the whole job here, not an add-on
- Support the General Manager in running a high-volume, fast-paced daytime trade without losing any of that detail

About You:

- You've come from a genuinely high-standards, training-led environment — a structured group with real induction and progression, or a background with Michelin-adjacent discipline around detail and grooming
- You can write standards and embed them, not just enforce someone else's
- You're a natural coach and mentor — people get better under you because you take the time
- You understand the difference between fine dining polish and genuine hospitality — this role needs the latter, at volume
- You're flexible on an early, demanding shift pattern because you're driven to build something here — not because the hours happen to suit you

What's on Offer:

- £50,000 to £60,000 per year package (£40K basic + £10K Service/Tronc + £10K potential bonus KPI)
- A daytime-led leadership role with real ownership — you're building the structure, not inheriting one
- Real scope to shape how the daytime operation runs, on a foundation you set

Hands-on, operational, built to grow.

The role needs someone who has led a kitchen team and can carry the operational weight from day one. If you're a Head Chef or Kitchen Manager who has been waiting for the chance to be accountable for something, step into a senior position, and build something that lasts — this is the conversation to have.

We are accomplished restaurateurs now supporting forward-thinking, values-led, independant brands that we feel offer genuine career development opportunities in their growth plans.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created role — which means you'd be shaping it, not inheriting someone else's version of it. A growing independent restaurant group is looking for a senior kitchen leader to take operational ownership across two well-established London restaurants. The title is Kitchen Manager rather than Head Chef and you would be on shift over the busy service periods with your time shared accross two kitchens. The role is hands-on leading compliance, cost control, standards, team development. Roughly 70% of your time is hands-on in service; the rest is the operational and strategic work that makes those services possible.

The Business

Two London restaurants, one group. Fresh, ingredient-led cooking with international influence. Both sites have established followings, strong weekly covers, and full drinks programmes including cocktails. The group is founder-led with a small, tight head office — decisions get made quickly, good ideas get heard, and the person in this role will have genuine influence on how the kitchens evolve. A third site and central production kitchen are in the plan for 2027, and the right person will be central to that build-out.

You must be

• Operationally strong — not just a good chef, but someone who cares deeply about systems, compliance, and standards
• Experienced managing a kitchen brigade, including recruitment and training
• Comfortable holding your own across labour costs, stock management, and the numbers that drive a kitchen
• Adaptable — this is a small group, which means hands-on autonomy rather than layers of central support.
• Ready for a genuine step up — ideally into your first multi-site senior role, hungry to prove what you can do with real ownership

Be able to

• Run kitchen operations across two sites — audits, compliance, hygiene standards, consistency checks
• Lead brigade development: one-to-ones, performance management, training plans, and bringing good people in
• Manage labour and food costs to target, week in week out
• Work closely with the Sous Chefs who hold each site day-to-day, giving them clear direction and genuine support
• Contribute to menu development alongside the founders — this is a welcome part of the role, though not the primary brief

About you

• You have a thoughtful career and developed up from role to role
• You have proven accomplishments and reflect someone that develops year on year
• You are not someone that changes jobs every year and has developed up year on year within the same brands
• You are an exceptional communicator and demonstrate leadership and mentorship in teams
• You have a strong understanding of kitchen management, compliance and standards underpinned by your ability to implement and improve process and procedure
• You have taken the time to apply to this opportunity and feel that this is the next natural step for you in your development

Look forward to supporting you.

**Chef de Partie — up to £16 per hour depending on experience (£35,000–£40,000 per year equivalent) — Mayfair, Central London**

A skilled, professional CDP ready to join a small kitchen team at an independently owned Lebanese and French-inspired restaurant in Mayfair.

We are looking for a Chef de Partie with consistent, professional experience to join the kitchen team at a founder-led restaurant in the heart of Mayfair. The concept is rooted in Lebanese and French cuisine with rotisserie as its centrepiece — a concise, considered menu built around quality produce and strong technique. Lebanese cuisine experience is not required; what matters is that you are a skilled, professional chef who wants to learn new dishes and develop a career as the business grows into new locations. This is an independent brand with real momentum — a third site is in the pipeline, and the team being built now will be integral to those openings.

**The Role:**

Full-time, 48 hours per week, working four days on and three days off. Open from 12pm Monday to Sunday. The kitchen closes at 10:30pm Monday to Saturday; Sunday is lunch service only, no dinner. The role works across a team that includes KP and Commis Chefs.

**Your Experience:**

At least one year of consistent CDP experience in a recognised brand. A la carte service, fresh produce, prep, and a solid understanding of kitchen health and safety and stock management. French or Lebanese culinary background beneficial but not essential.

**About You:**

Professional, proud of your craft and looking for a kitchen where you can develop. You want to be part of a team that grows together, not just pass through.

Drop me a note and I'll pick up a call with you, present the business to you and talk through the opportunity or any other position that we feel will offer career development. Speak soon.

Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor Mixologist - up to £44,000 per year - Central London

A Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor accomplished in leading cocktail bars reporting directly to the General Manager.

We are looking for an experienced Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor from a recognised high-street brand to lead a small, speakeasy basement cocktail bar in an independently owned Lebanese and French-inspired restaurant in Central London. You will need at least two years of bar management experience, a considered career that has moved consistently upward, and the kind of hands-on mixology skills that set a standard for a small team. You will support the leadership of a front-of-house team of ten to fifteen colleagues and manage a bar team of three. This is a Mayfair independent now moving towards its third opening — if you are career-driven, genuinely engaged and looking for a role where you can grow with the business, be central to new-site openings, and develop in time into a more senior multi-site position, this is the right opportunity.

The Role:

Full-time, hands-on and accountable. You will take ownership of the guest experience and service standards within the bar, as well as supporting the wider business administration: health and safety compliance, team training and development. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 12pm; the kitchen closes at 10:30pm Monday to Saturday (Sunday lunch service only). The downstairs cocktail bar operates under a late licence — last orders at midnight, with closing at 1am on busy Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, and between 11pm and midnight on weekday evenings. The role is fully hands-on in service.

Your Experience:

Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor with specific experience in cocktail bars. Longevity in roles, with demonstrable accomplishments year on year. Strong hands-on mixology with a track record of recruiting and developing a bar team in a known high street cocktail bar brand.

About you:

Strong leadership and communication skills. Lead from the front, mentor your team, and review and report on weekly performance. A genuine eye for detail and a guest-first mentality.

Drop me a note and I'll pick up a call with you, present the business to you and talk through the opportunity or any other position that we feel will offer career development.

We're looking for a Senior Chef de Partie to run the grill and pasta section at Locale Italian — an established, independent Italian restaurant and cocktail bar on the Southbank, looking straight out across the river at the London Eye. This is a key section to own: strong grill experience, a busy pass, and a brigade that takes real pride in doing it properly.

About Locale Italian:

Locale is an independent Italian restaurant, cocktail bar and terrace at County Hall — hand-made pasta, stone-baked pizzas, seasonal fish and meat, fresh salads and authentic Italian ingredients, all served in a setting that runs from relaxed lunch to proper occasion. There's a separate cocktail bar, a private event space, and an outdoor terrace that's one of the best-positioned in London — right across from the Eye. Front of house team of x15 hospitality professionals, and you'd be joining a kitchen brigade of x5. It's an owner-led business, hands-on and proud of its independence, with a team that's been given the room to lead the kitchen and make it their own.

The section:

You will lead the grill and pasta section — classic Italian pasta made properly, seasonal fish and meat, fresh salads, all built on authentic Italian produce. Pizza experience is a genuine bonus if you have it, but it's not required — this role is about your grill and pasta craft first.

Hours:

Open seven days, 11am to 10pm.

The role will be full time, 45 hours per week.

The opportunity:

£38,000 – £40,000 per year (£16.50 – £17 per hour), paid hourly on a 45-hour rota. You'll need to be an experienced chef with strong Italian cuisine behind you, comfortable running a section with real kitchen leadership, and a good communicator who works well with the team and takes support from above to keep developing.

Drop me a note and I'll pick up a call, talk you through the business properly, and cover this role — or anything else we think could be the right next step for you.

Speak soon.
