Hi, I’m Rotsen co-founder of El Pollote. After years of building this place with my partner Katherine, we’ve reached a point where we need someone to step in and lead the day-to-day operations so we can focus on the bigger picture. This isn’t just a job post. It’s us being real: we’ve built something we care deeply about, but we can’t do it alone anymore so we’re looking for an experienced, driven and hands-on General Manager to take charge of our Carnaby Street location and help lead El Pollote into its next chapter. About El Pollote El Pollote is a bold and unapologetic celebration of Latino flavour and street energy, served through award-winning food, vibrant cocktails and a team that brings the vibe every day. We're not a typical fried chicken joint, we're something different, something louder, something that lives and breathes passion and pride. We're proud to be independent, immigrant-built, and flavour-first. Our food is made from scratch, our culture is rooted in Latin America and our energy comes from the streets we grew up in. What You’ll Do - Take full responsibility for day-to-day operations at our Carnaby Street restaurant. - Lead and develop our front and back-of-house teams with confidence, fairness and energy. - Manage stock, rotas, cost control and systems with precision. - Maintain high standards of hospitality, hygiene and overall customer experience. - Support recruitment, training and onboarding of new team members. - Report directly to ownership and work closely to shape the future of the business. - Help us evolve while protecting the core values that made El Pollote what it is. What We’re Looking For - Proven experience as a General Manager in a busy, high-pressure restaurant. - Strong leadership and communication skills, you lead by example! - A head for numbers and systems and a heart for people. - Someone comfortable taking ownership, not just following orders. - Passion for hospitality, Latino culture, and creating great experiences. - Fluent in English and Spanish(required for team communication). What We’re Offering - Salary: £40,000 – £45,000, depending on experience. - Performance bonus structure tied to revenue, staff retention and guest experience. - Full creative involvement in the future of the brand. - Staff meals, discounts and a role you can genuinely make your own. - A workplace where your voice matters and where we work hard but never fake it.
