The role and You:

We’re looking for a dynamic General Manager to join our Kingston site. If you bring the energy, have a proven record of driving restaurant success, both front & back of house, and can lead a team with passion this role could be for you.

As a General Manager here at Honest, you'll focus on the guest experience hosting everyone in the same way you'd welcome your family. Our GMs always give a 100% to create memorable experiences. We call it Honest Hospitality, but in real terms it's “old-school hospitality”.

You’ll show real pride and ownership of your restaurant and you will be proud to be a part of and support your local community, and with Kingston there is so much potential.

In addition to being a talented and hardworking General Manager, you will fully embrace leadership responsibilities, choosing to lead from the front and constantly coaching and guiding your team to success.

To be an Honest General Manager you'll also want to be hands on (no offices or desks here!), working closely with your kitchen, Head Chef and wider management team to ensure as a team you meet our Honest KPI’s, standards and efficiency. Finally you'll put your team's happiness and welfare up there as a priority.

We want you to help generate a culture of loyalty, positivity and opportunity whilst recognising the positive impact you can have on your team, the areas and of course our guests.

All of our General Managers report into an Operations Manager who visits regularly. As a close business creating strong, professional relationships with other restaurant teams as well as the Prep Kitchen & Support Office team is also important to be successful.

Areas of responsibility:

• Managing and developing your team
• Managing Food Safety and Health & Safety compliance
• Recruitment & training
• Meeting set KPI’s
• Commerciality and COGS management
• Compliance & Reporting
• Driving sales growth through constant improvement to the service and restaurant’s performance

We believe in equal access to support and opportunity that exists for all. We celebrate our differences and want you to help us to continually strive for diversity, inclusivity and a warm welcome for everyone.

This means your name, age, race or gender doesn’t need to be on your CV. If you’d rather take it off, that’s good with us.
