General Manager
Project Eighty Three | Newquay, Cornwall
Salary: From £28,000 per annum (depending on experience)
Full-time | Permanent
Help lead one of Cornwall's most unique hospitality venues.
Project Eighty Three is more than a bar. We're an award-winning independent venue built inside a former garage, combining coffee, breakfast, bar, street food, live music, motorcycle culture and community events under one roof. Every week is different, from busy breakfast services and bike nights to live bands, farmers markets and community events.
We're looking for an ambitious General Manager to become the Directors' second-in-command and help lead the next stage of our growth.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys being on the floor, leading by example and building an exceptional team and customer experience.
About the role
As General Manager, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the venue, ensuring every customer receives outstanding service while maintaining high standards across all areas of the business.
You'll work closely with the Directors to develop the business, improve performance and help shape the future of Project Eighty Three.
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.
