A GBP 60,000 + TRONC
We are working with a brilliant independent hospitality business who are looking for an experienced General Manager to lead one of their London restaurants.
The Role
This is a hands-on, floor-led General Manager role within a quality-focused neighbourhood restaurant. The food offering is already performing really well, so the focus for this appointment will be around service, standards, and the overall guest experience.
You will lead a small FOH team, oversee the wider restaurant operation, and work closely with the kitchen. This is a very relationship-led business with a huge amount of repeat trade, so we need someone who loves being on the floor, knows how to build a room, and genuinely enjoys looking after guests.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
