ABOUT US
Since we opened our doors in London in 2011, Granger & Co. has brought the relaxed, sunny Australian way of dining to the city. Our restaurants reflect the spirit that Bill Granger made known around the world: easy-going, generous excellence. Our food makes people feel good. It is full of flavour, goodness and vitality. We thoughtfully source the best possible ingredients and the emotional comfort of food is as important to us as how it looks and tastes. We celebrate seasonality, champion local growers and suppliers and prioritise ingredients grown with care. As a family-owned restaurant group that is constantly evolving, we value all employees as respected individuals and foster diversity and inclusion, with everyone given a chance to share their voice and ideas. People stay with us and grow with us, many for over a decade. We are committed to parity.
THE ROLE
This is a full-time position with a mix of daytime, evening and weekend shifts. You will be instrumental in supporting the General Manager, taking ownership of the daily operations, confidently managing the floor, kitchen and bar, ensuring service runs smoothly at all times. You will lead and motivate all departments with efficiency and attention to detail, inspiring them through seasonal menu changes and teaching with generosity to build skills and confidence. You will have a support team working with you including our Bar Manager, Restaurant Manager and Head Chef.
ABOUT YOU
You love hospitality, from the joy of sharing great food and drink to creating memorable experiences for guests. You are a hands-on and proactive leader who can confidently guide a team through demanding, high-volume shifts. You understand what makes service exceptional and know how to bring together front and back of house to ensure the restaurant runs seamlessly. With previous experience as an Assistant General Manager or in a similar role, you are hungry to step up to the next level. Above all, you care deeply about guest satisfaction, teamwork, and creating an inclusive environment where both guests and teams feel genuinely welcome.
WHAT WE OFFER
- A real work-life balance in a people-first business with teams who love what they do.
- An additional day of holiday for every year of service after two years.
- Access to wellbeing support and private GP services through Hospitality Rewards.
- 50% off when you dine in our restaurants (for up to four people).
- Cycle to work scheme.
- Enhanced maternity pay.
- Ongoing learning opportunities and visits to the farms and producers we work with.
If this role excites you, but do not feel you meet every requirement, we would still love to hear from you. Qualifications are not everything here. We care just as much about experience, curiosity, creativity and the way you work with others. Relevant training is welcomed but not essential. We believe great chefs and leaders come through many different paths, and we are always interested in people with something distinctive to bring.
