Assistant Restaurant Manager

£32 - 35,000 + Package & Benefits

Norwich

How about a job you could make your own? Something you’d be in on right at the start and have the opportunity to take as far as you want? A job with support if you need it but the room to make decisions if you don’t. Something you could look back on with real pride and a sense of achievement. Oh, and a job with no evening shifts, not one, this is a daytime venue so the work/life balance will be great too.

The Job

This site is brand new and you’ll be involved in all aspects of getting the restaurant ready to trade. You’ll play an active part in the recruitment of a team of kitchen and front of house staff, ensure that all the team are trained and share the vision of the business to offer an outstanding experience and have some input into menu development. When ready to open, the site is yours on a day-to-day basis and you’ll set the tone with regards to service and standards, running seasonal promotions and measuring and monitoring all restaurant objectives. Your brief will be to become one of Norwich’s best-loved café/restaurants, offering locally sourced and high-quality food. Its largely up to you and your team how you get there.

The Person

You’ll be an accomplished Supervisor or Shift Manager with enough hospitality experience to get up and running and a desire to take on more responsibility. An advocate of both local sourcing and sustainable farming, you’ll nonetheless be able to blend that with the commercial savvy required to run a successful business. You’re probably already working in something with great service and high standards so those important qualities will be second nature and you’ll be happy and comfortable leading a team. Most importantly you’ll have a clear idea of what you could do, given an opportunity to do it.

The Company

Really well established and with the finances to prove it, this business is a household name in the Norfolk area and this project is the start of what is planned to be considerable retail expansion.
