It started in Chiswick with one oven and a big dream. 26 years later, we're still doing things our way: serving fresh pasta, bubbly pizza crusts, and food that makes you go "oooooo".
We don't do "safe" or "samey".
We bring people together in modern rustic restaurants to make every occasion standout.

- Support team development by giving constructive feedback, building confidence, and keeping team spirit high.
- Take full ownership of the restaurant's "curb appeal", keeping standards and safety spot on.
- Work with the GM to monitor performance, manage the financials, and track service metrics to be "better than yesterday".
- What's in it for you
- Clear internal pathways and structured development to fast‑track your career to General Manager.
- Access your earned wages whenever you need them before payday with Stream.
- Free meals on shift and 50% off food and drinks at Zizzi outside of work.
- 24/7 Virtual GP and Employee Assistance Program.
- Big discounts on travel, cinema, and top brands.
- Flexible hours, 45 hour contract
- What We Are Looking For

- An obsession for maintaining high brand standards
- Examples of delivering business growth and meeting KPIs.
- A strong results-focused mindset with a keen interest in business results
