- Build, develop and retain a strong team - culture, accountability and progression are key
- Take full responsibility for P&L - revenue, labour, costs and profitability
- Drive sales through upselling, events, private dining and smart reservations management
- Proven General Manager from a quality-led, independent or premium hospitality environment
- Strong operator - understands both the floor and the numbers
- Hands on leader - leads from the front and sets standards in real time
- Commercially sharp - knows how to drive revenue and protect margin
