ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER • new opening, premium Italian restaurant, Hampton Court We're opening a brand new premium Italian restaurant near Hampton Court at the end of October, and we're looking for an Assistant General Manager to build the front of house with us from day one. THE ROLE You're second to the General Manager, and on the shifts when the GM isn't in, the restaurant is yours: the floor, the team, the money, the guests. Day to day you'll be running service alongside the Head Waiter and leading the front of house team: rotas, training, standards, and the difficult conversations when someone isn't holding them. You'll handle cash up, reservations and covers, guest complaints that come past the floor, and the daily reporting. You'll be building this team from an empty room, which means the way front of house runs will be partly yours to shape. You'll report to the General Manager and work to company policy, but how the room is run night to night is something we'll build together. We have further openings planned, and this is a natural route to General Manager.

If you're missing one of them, this isn't the right role for you. WHAT YOU GET Contract from day one One free meal every shift Two days off a week Monthly payslip 28 days holiday Workplace pension £500 referral bonus for anyone you bring in who passes probation Paid training, with structured training every three months Real progression, we have further openings planned A group that has traded for twenty years, including the hard years The chance to open a restaurant from day one, not join one already running FREE ACCOMMODATION IS AVAILABLE FOR SOME OF THE ROLES. START DATE: MID OCTOBER , ahead of the opening. You'll be in from the soft opening, setting the place up with us. ABOUT US We're a hospitality group that has been running restaurants in this area for 20 years. We currently have four sites, and at the end of October we're opening our fifth: a premium Italian restaurant near Hampton Court, seating around 70. The food is proper Italian cooking with a modern hand: good ingredients, treated properly, served well. The standards are high and we won't pretend otherwise. What we offer back is a company that pays on time, plans ahead, and promotes from within. We're hiring the full kitchen and front of house team from scratch. We're looking for people who want to build something, not just fill a shift. TPBN1_UKCT
