General Manager - Independent Restaurant

GENERAL MANAGER – Independent Restaurant SUFFOLK £45,000–£50,000 + TRONC We are working with a gorgeous independent restaurant with rooms in Suffolk, looking for a brilliant General Manager to take the reins. This is a small but seriously special operation – 2 AA Rosettes, a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a fantastic reputation for food, wine and service. THE ROLE: This is a proper hands-on GM role. You will be the face of the business, leading a small team, working closely with the Head Chef and making sure the restaurant continues to deliver at a really high level. Alongside the day-to-day, they want someone commercially switched on who can bring a bit more structure, develop the team and really take ownership of the wider business – including seven bedrooms with loads of untapped potential. THE CANDIDATE:

• We need someone from a quality-led restaurant background – fine dining, Michelin, Rosette or brilliant premium independents.
• You need to LOVE being on the floor. This is an intimate restaurant where the GM knows the guests, serves tables, talks wine and gets properly stuck in.
• Wine knowledge is important – ideally WSET Level 2, although they will support further training for the right person.
• Warm, polished, commercially savvy and full of personality. A brilliant little business with lovely owners, real autonomy and plenty of opportunity to put your stamp on it. Driver essential. Relocation/accommodation support potentially available. If this sounds like you, drop your details: Kate@corecruitment.com
