Job Description

TSTS Chelsea is expanding to a larger site and we’re looking for an experienced, passionate general manager for our restaurant.

We want a candidate who lives and breathes hospitality! Top level experience in a notable UK restaurant is expected along with references. You’ll be working closely with the founder of the business to oversee the opening and the day to day running of the new operation, as well as collaborating with the head chef and retail manager on a daily basis.

Whilst this is essentially a new opening, many of the team are already working at the existing site so your focus will be to build out the front of house team for the new space which will have up to 80 covers throughout the building.

You’ll also implement essential new processes for the day to day operations of the business. Wet sales will be under your management and you’ll have oversight of the drinks list with sales and GP targets to hit.

At TSTS we put the team first - supporting each other is the key to our success so we’re looking for a strong leader who also respects the opinion of staff at any level.

Hours: 45-50/ week
Salary: on application
Benefits: pension scheme, store/restaurant discounts, private medical insurance after probation
