Restaurant Manager

About Fatto a Mano

Fatto a Mano is an independent pizzeria business built on quality, care and people. We believe great food and great hospitality come from well-supported teams, clear values and leaders who are present on the floor, not behind a desk.

We operate multiple pizzerias across London and Brighton & Hove, supported by a central production kitchen and support office.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced General Manager to lead one of our pizzerias. While this role will be based at a single location, we are not recruiting for a specific site at this stage. The final location will be discussed and agreed with the successful candidate, based on experience, strengths and business needs.

About You

• Proven experience as a General Manager in a high-quality hospitality environment
