General Manager
Michelin Guide Restaurant
West London
£70,000 - £80,000 per annum plus bonus and benefits
A landmark West London restaurant is hiring a General Manager to lead day-to-day operations across a 160-cover modern French brasserie, bar, private dining room, and terrace.
The site has a long-standing reputation in its neighbourhood and has recently been reimagined under new ownership. The kitchen is led by a well-known London chef patron, the menu is ingredient-led modern French brasserie, and the guest base spans local regulars, destination diners, and private events.
The Role
You'll run the floor and the wider operation end-to-end:

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.
- Service standards
- Team leadership
- P&L

- Able to lead service from the floor and act as the senior host for regulars, destination diners, and private events
