General Manager
Location: London
Salary: £50,000 – £55,000 + incentives
A high-energy, quality-led pizza concept in London is looking for a General Manager to take full ownership of the site. This is not a standard GM role – it needs someone who can lead from the front, build a proper team, and drive both culture and performance in a fast-paced, high-profile environment. Backed by serious culinary pedigree and positioned as a flagship site, there is clear ambition to grow this into a multi-site business. The right person will play a key role in that journey.
The Role:
- Full ownership of the restaurant – guest experience, team, operations and commercial performance
- Set the tone on the floor – visible, hands-on leadership with high standards across every service
- Deliver a consistent, high-quality guest experience from start to finish
- Run all day-to-day operations including rotas, floor planning, service flow and compliance
- Build, develop and retain a strong team – culture, accountability and progression are key
- Take full responsibility for P&L – revenue, labour, costs and profitability
- Drive sales through upselling, events, private dining and smart reservations management
The Person:
- Proven General Manager from a quality-led, independent or premium hospitality environment
- Strong operator – understands both the floor and the numbers
- Hands-on leader – leads from the front and sets standards in real time
- Commercially sharp – knows how to drive revenue and protect margin
- Culture builder – able to recruit, develop and retain strong teams
- Detail-focused – nothing slips, especially in a high-volume environment
- Passionate about food and genuine hospitality – not just service, but experience
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, growing business with clear ambition
