Full job description

General Manager

Location: The Old Dog, Thorpe (DE6 2AT) – 40 minutes from Sheffield, Derby, and Stoke. Package: £40,000 – £50,000

The Opportunity

The Old Dog is an iconic, independent destination pub nestled in a unique landmark location. We are building a high-performance culture where the guest experience is at the center of every decision. We are looking for a General Manager to take full ownership of this beautiful venue, driving excellence across a variety of occasions—from walkers stopping in for a post-hike pint to families enjoying high-standard destination dining.

The Three Pillars of Your Role

1. People & Culture Leadership

  • Build and mentor a team that is accountable to one another, fostering a culture of pride and professional growth.
  • Implement clear training pathways and certifications to ensure every team member is an expert in their role.
  • Lead with a "front-of-house" presence, coaching the team in real-time to deliver consistent, elite service.

2. Commercial Mastery

  • Drive business growth by focusing on key performance indicators including GP, Average Ticket Value (ATV) and Labour efficiency.
  • Execute creative marketing and community engagement to ensure we remain the first choice for both locals and visitors.
  • Direct the "High Performance Bonus Pot," rewarding the team for hitting tangible quality and financial targets.

3. Systems & Operational Excellence

  • Take full ownership of the pub’s compliance, including Health & Safety, Licensing, and Food Hygiene (HACCP), ensuring the business is always "audit-ready."
  • Refine and own the "customer journey," ensuring every touchpoint—from booking to the final "thank you"—is seamless.
  • Champion proactive ways of working by digitising our operational processes to ensure consistent practices, using technology to build a transparent, data-driven team culture.

Who You Are

  • The Builder: You have a proven track record as a GM in a high-volume, food-led environment and love the autonomy of an independent business.
  • The Expert: You hold a valid Personal Licence (APLH) and have a comprehensive understanding of UK licensing and compliance.
  • The Communicator: You are high-energy and professional, capable of engaging with a diverse customer base and leading a diverse team.
  • The Tech-Forward Leader: You embrace digital tools to simplify workflows and improve communication, seeing "process" as the key to freedom and performance.

Why Join Us?

We offer the stability of a professionalised business with the heart and soul of an independent pub. This is a role for a leader who wants to move away from "firefighting" and into a structured, high-performance environment where they have the autonomy to truly shape the future of a landmark venue.

To Apply: Please submit your CV along with a short cover note outlining your experience in team development and driving guest satisfaction with references detailed.
