Restaurant Manager - Straight Line Retail Recruitment : Job Details

Restaurant Manager

£35 - 40,000 + Package

Norwich

How about a job you could make your own? Something you’d be in on right at the start and have the opportunity to take as far as you want? A job with support if you need it but the room to make decisions if you don’t. Something you could look back on with real pride and a sense of achievement. Oh, and a job with no evening shifts, so you might need to take up a hobby.

The Job

This site is brand new and you’ll be involved in all aspects of getting the restaurant ready to trade. You’ll recruit the team of chefs, supervisors and staff, play an active role in local marketing and have input into supplier choice and menu development. When ready to open, the site is yours and you’ll take control of everything - P&L, setting the tone with regards to service and standards, organising seasonal promotions from the ground up and proposing, setting and managing all restaurant objectives. Your brief will be to become one of Norwich’s best-loved café/restaurants, offering locally sourced and high-quality food. Its largely up to you how you get there.

The Person

You’ll be an accomplished self-starter with enough hospitality experience to get up and running. An advocate of both local sourcing and sustainable farming, you’ll never-the-less be able to blend that with the commercial savvy required to operate a successful business. You’re probably already running something with great service and high standards so those important qualities will be second nature and you’ll be happy and comfortable leading a team. Most importantly you’ll have a clear idea of what you could do, given an opportunity to do it.

The Company

Really well established and with the finances to prove it, this business is a household name in the Norfolk area and this project is the start of what is planned to be considerable retail expansion.
