ASSISTANT RESTAURANT MANAGER – FINE DINING
London
Up to £53,000 (inclusive of TRONC)
I’m working with a fantastic fine dining restaurant in London looking for an Assistant Restaurant Manager to join its leadership team. This is a role for someone who loves being in the middle of service: welcoming guests, supporting the team and making sure everything runs beautifully, even when the restaurant is at its busiest.
You’ll work closely with the Restaurant Manager and General Manager, taking real ownership of the floor and helping to create the kind of experience that brings guests back.
THE ROLE
- Lead shifts from the floor, keeping service smooth, organised and attentive without making it feel scripted.
- Get to know your guests, handle requests with confidence and make sure any issues are resolved thoughtfully.
- Coach the front of house team through service, giving clear direction and helping them build their skills and confidence.
- Support with rotas, recruitment and training, making sure the team is set up properly for each service.
- Work closely with the kitchen and wider management team to keep communication strong and standards consistent.
- Help manage labour, costs and daily reporting, with a clear understanding of how great service supports a successful restaurant.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
