Assistant General Manager – Exciting New Opening | Iconic London Location | £45,000 – £50,000

Are you an experienced and driven Assistant General Manager with a deep love for hospitality and a passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences?

We’re launching a brand-new restaurant with rich family history, in one of London’s most iconic locations — a soulful, modern tribute to Cantonese-style home cooking. Our menu is rooted in tradition and thoughtfully reimagined for the modern diner, with a strong focus on fresh, seasonal produce. From fragrant broths to nourishing bowls and delicately balanced plates, every dish honours the comfort, warmth, and balance of Cantonese family meals. As Assistant General Manager, you’ll work closely with the General Manager to bring this exciting concept to life. You’ll help to build and nurture a passionate front-of-house team, create a welcoming and efficient environment, and ensure the smooth running of daily operations from day one. This is a unique opportunity to be part of something new — and help shape its success from the ground up.

What’s In It For You:

  • Competitive salary of £45,000 – £50,000

  • The opportunity to be part of a high-profile launch in one of London’s most celebrated destinations

  • Real input into the development/events

  • A supportive leadership team and real opportunities for growth and progression

  • Staff meals, wellness-focused perks, and a respectful, inspiring working environment

This isn’t just another role — it’s a chance to be part of something meaningful, nourishing, and built to last.

  • Set the tone for excellent service and a positive team culture

  • Ensure operational efficiency and uphold brand and service standards

  • Champion guest satisfaction through every interaction

  • Work in sync with the kitchen and leadership team to deliver consistency and quality

  • A strong understanding of what it takes to deliver outstanding service and operations including events

  • A hands-on leadership approach and calm, solution-focused mindset
