Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Bonus: Performance-related bonus scheme

About the Opportunity

We are recruiting confidentially for an experienced General Manager to lead a large pub, restaurant and entertainment venue in Weymouth as it prepares for an exciting relaunch under new independent ownership.

Due to commercial confidentiality, the name of the venue will be disclosed to suitable shortlisted applicants.

This is a significant hospitality operation with ambitious plans to become one of Weymouth’s leading destinations for food, drinks and entertainment.

The restaurant will operate throughout the day, with plans including a strong buffet breakfast offering, lunches, bottomless brunches and an extensive evening menu, ranging from small plates and sharing dishes through to quality steaks and a wide variety of popular dishes.

The evening offering will combine great food and drinks with entertainment including live music, music bingo, quizzes, games, karaoke and special events.

We are looking for somebody who wants to do more than simply manage shifts. We want a General Manager who can build a team, establish standards, grow sales and deliver strong profits.

The Role

You will have overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation and commercial performance of the venue.

You will work closely with the wider management team while having the confidence and experience to take genuine ownership of the operation.

  • Managing staff rotas and controlling labour costs
  • Monitoring sales, wage percentages and profitability
  • Managing food and drink GP

  • Growing local trade as well as tourist and visitor business
  • Helping develop functions, parties and group business
  • Working with the Regional Operations Manager on menus, pricing, promotions and marketing
  • Building relationships with local businesses, accommodation providers and attractions
  • Being highly visible within the venue and leading from the front during busy services

How can we improve the guest experience? How can we increase sales? How can we control costs? And how can we make the business more profitable?

The venue has considerable potential across:

Performance measures may include:

  • Sales growth
  • Profitability
  • Labour cost control
