Restaurant General Manager - NEW OPENING - The Hoxton, Southwark

We are looking for Restaurant GMs to be part of our team for the brand new The Hoxton, Southwark, set to open this summer.

The Hoxton, Southwark will be our latest addition to The Hoxton family, and our third in London, only a skip & a hop away from the South Bank. There’ll be something for everyone: 192 rooms, a bustling ground-floor restaurant, bar and terrace, The Apartment (our unique meeting & events space), a stunning roof-top restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating PLUS our brand-new coworking space spread over six floors. It’s going to be quite something!

Come and be part of an opening we’re super excited about!

What you’ll do…

  • Lead a dynamic pre-opening front of house restaurant team in one of the most exciting hotel openings of 2019
  • Both guest and team experience will be at the heart of all you do. You’ll lead your team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; helping them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top Hox experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions
  • Drive revenue through well planned and create initiatives and incentives, alongside a strong understanding of the guest booking and profiling system
  • Have a firm grip on the P&L and take ownership over the costs of the restaurant business, always striving to find efficient solutions whilst keeping the quality high and the experience top notch
  • Working closely with the Head Chef so that front of house and back of house are working smoothly, hand-in-hand

What we are looking for

  • A track record of leading large teams in restaurants, kitchens and bars; you’re a natural at inspiring trust and bringing others along on a journey
  • 2+ years’ experience in a similar restaurant management role in a busy, bustling environment
  • Previous involvement in budgeting and forecasting, a strong understanding of the financial expectations of a successful restaurant and bar business
  • An ability to manage the budget on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. You will be expected to report results with a granular understanding of the ongoing trends of the business to the Head of Restaurants and Bars for Southwark
  • Exceptional attention to detail in a fast-paced environment, juggling many things at once, but always dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s
  • You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here
  • Passion for hospitality – you’re all about creating memorable experiences for others, be they guests or colleagues
  • You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get shit done
  • You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once
  • You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way

What’s in it for you…

  • A performance related bonus on top of your salary
  • 20 days holiday (plus bank holidays), pension and life insurance
  • A health cash plan, through which you can easily claim money back on things like dental, physiotherapy and contact lenses
  • Take care of your physical & mental wellbeing through a support help line, gym discounts, virtual GP surgeries and more
  • Treat yourself once in a while with lots of retail & hospitality perks through our partners
  • Goes without saying, but we’ll feed you during your shift
  • Excellent discounts across the Ennismore family for you and your nearest and dearest (even if you decide to leave us!)
  • Lots of opportunity to progress and switch it up as part of a global family of brands
  • Training to get you settled into your role, learning academies to broaden your skillset and development that helps you think, make and thrive at work
  • Extra time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities
  • Access to our Coworking space on evenings & weekends to work on your side-hustle
  • Regular team get togethers, from our team drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties – we know how to have a good time!
