General Manager – Coqfighter Soho

Run the Restaurant. Guide the Team. Own the Vibe.

At Coqfighter, we do chicken properly.
No gimmicks. No nonsense. Just ridiculously good food, proper hospitality, great music, and restaurants full of people having a good time.
What started as a street food concept has grown into one of London's favourite independent brands, and we're only just getting started.
Now we're looking for an exceptional General Manager to lead our Soho restaurant—the beating heart of the business.
This isn't a job for someone who wants to hide in the office. It's for someone who loves the buzz of a busy service, thrives under pressure, and knows that great hospitality starts with great people.
If you're the kind of leader who gets stuck in, inspires your team, and takes real pride in running an incredible restaurant, keep reading.

Your Restaurant. Your Team.

As General Manager, you'll have real ownership.
You'll lead from the front, creating an atmosphere that keeps guests coming back and a culture where your team genuinely enjoys coming to work. 
You'll be responsible for everything from leading an amazing team and delivering unforgettable service to driving sales, controlling costs and making sure every shift runs like clockwork. 
We trust our managers to make decisions, solve problems and treat the business like it's their own.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading every service with confidence, energy and positivity.
  • Building, coaching and developing an exceptional team.
  • Delivering consistently brilliant guest experiences.
  • Driving sales while managing labour, stock and profitability.
  • Recruiting, training and retaining the best people.
  • Maintaining the high standards Coqfighter is known for.
  • Bringing ideas that make the restaurant even better.

What We're Looking For

You'll already be a successful General Manager, or an outstanding Assistant Manager who's more than ready for the next step.
More importantly, you'll be someone who:

  • Loves being on the restaurant floor.
  • Leads with positivity, empathy and confidence.
  • Thrives in fast-paced, high-volume hospitality.
  • Understands the numbers as well as the people.
  • Builds strong, motivated teams.
  • Stays calm when the pressure's on.
  • Takes ownership and makes things happen.
  • Never settles for "good enough."

What You'll Get

  • Competitive salary.
  • Quarterly performance bonus.
  • 28 days' paid holiday.
  • Free staff meals every shift.
  • Ongoing development and genuine opportunities to progress.
  • A supportive leadership team that wants you to succeed.
  • The chance to help shape the future of one of London's most exciting independent restaurant brands.

Why Coqfighter?

Because hospitality should be fun.
We work hard, we laugh a lot, and we care about doing things properly. We don't believe in egos or corporate nonsense—just great food, brilliant service and looking after our people.
We're ambitious, founder-led and constantly evolving. We want managers who'll challenge us, bring fresh ideas and help raise the bar even higher.
If you want to run one of London's busiest restaurants, build an incredible team and make your mark on a brand that's going places, we'd love to hear from you.
