* Location: Chelsea & Notting Hill, London

An independent healthy eating QSR brand, with two high-performing sites in central London is seeking a hands-on, energetic General Manager to oversee day­–to­–day operations across both sites. This is a hands-on Manager job, with opportunity to grow into a more strategic operations role, working closely with the Founder/Director.

The business is driven by a mission to provide fresh-healthy food & drink that makes a positive, long-lasting impact on customer health & wellness. The range of products includes cold-pressed juices, smoothies, açai bowls, salads, hot foods, salad and noodle bowls & a range of desserts/snacks.

This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing independent business with a loyal customer base and a strong delivery/takeaway split.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Lead and inspire two teams of 10+ across both sites, supported by Assistant Managers and Shift Leaders.

* Help recruit, train, and develop FOH staff to deliver exceptional service and product quality.

* Be present working on the floor during peak hours — weekends are the busiest.

* Maintain KPIs across sales, labour, wastage, and mystery shopper scores.

* Own daily, weekly, and monthly reporting to identify growth opportunities.

* Ensure top-tier standards in food safety, hygiene, cash handling, and equipment maintenance.

* Manage supplier relationships, stock levels, and merchandising displays.

* Handle B2B enquiries, catering orders, and delivery platforms (e.g., Deliveroo).

* Collaborate with the founder and production kitchen to maintain product consistency.

What We’re Looking For

* 2+ years’ experience managing similar fast paced food & beverage operations (ideally QSR, but not essential), perhaps as General Manager or an Operational Manager.

* Background in restaurants or kitchens — you know how service flows and what good looks like.

* Confident, approachable leadership style with a strong floor presence.

* Process-driven, organised, and financially literate.

* Not from a heavily branded environment — autonomy and initiative are key.

* Open to feedback, collaborative with a young team, and ready to grow with the business.

* Must be willing to complete a 3-hour trial shift and SWOT analysis as part of the recruitment process.

Salary & Benefits

* Base Salary: £40,000–£45,000 per year (negotiable and depending on experience).

* Bonus: 10% of base salary after successful completion of 6-month probation.

* Hours: 48 hours per week (no evenings; weekends required).

* Schedule: Operating hours 6 am–7 pm.

Perks:

* Work with a purpose-led brand focused on health and wellness.

* Be part of a young, dynamic team in two of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

* Opportunity to shape operations and grow with the business.

* Staff discounts on all products.

* Direct mentorship from the founder
