## Description

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Restaurant Manager to lead a premium Italian all-day dining venue in Sea Point, Cape Town - part of an internationally renowned hospitality group.

This is a host-led senior management role at the heart of one of the city's most talked-about new openings: an elegant, design-forward restaurant serving breakfast through to leisurely dinners. Reporting to franchise ownership and supported by a Head Office team and three junior managers, the Senior Restaurant Manager owns the floor - protecting brand standards, delighting guests, and building the commercial performance of the business.

We are looking for a commercially sharp, naturally gregarious operator who leads from the front of house and thrives on building relationships, covers and culture.

**Key Responsibilities**

-   Uphold and maintain brand standards consistently across the operation.
-   Provide a strong, warm front-of-house presence and a host-led welcome for every guest.
-   Build guest and community relationships and plan and execute brand activations and events.
-   Drive commercial KPIs — covers, revenue and cost lines — and grow the business.
-   Lead, mentor and develop a team of junior managers, working closely with Head Office.
-   Partner with ownership on strategy, performance and standards.

## Requirements

-   Proven restaurant management experience, ideally in premium casual or premium dining.
-   Experience operating within a franchise or multi-unit, brand-standards environment.
-   A strong front-of-house presence and a natural, engaging hospitality personality.
-   Demonstrable track record of managing KPIs and building a business.
-   Fluent English.
-   A hospitality degree is advantageous.
-   Candidates must hold the right to work in South Africa.

## Benefits

-   Salary: ZAR 35,000 gross per month.
-   Duty meal and uniform provided.
-   Bonus / incentive scheme to be discussed with the successful candidate.
-   Six-day working week.
-   Further benefits to be confirmed during the recruitment process.
