About the Role
General Manager – The Breakfast Club, St Pancras
Location: St Pancras International Station, London
Salary: up to £50,000 (including service & tips).
Contract Type: Permanent, full-time
We’re on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind leader — a hospitality heavyweight with heart, hustle, and humour — to take the wheel at our legendary St Pancras Restaurant.
This is no ordinary venue. It’s fast, fun, and full of energy. A place where sleepy-eyed commuters, brunch enthusiasts, and curious tourists all come together for one thing: a Breakfast Club experience they won’t forget.
And that’s where you come in.
We're looking for a General Manager with the personality to lead from the front, the sharpness to keep the engine running smoothly, and the warmth to make every guest feel like a regular.
What makes this gig special?
This isn’t just about pancakes and full Englishes (though, let’s be honest, ours are the stuff of legends).
It’s about running a high-volume, high-reward, high-vibes restaurant in one of London’s most iconic travel hubs. You’ll be the heart and soul of a brilliant, bustling team — keeping the standards high, the energy higher, and the service unforgettable.
What you'll be owning:
1. Inspiring your team to serve up great vibes (and great brunch) every day
2. Keeping service running slick and smooth, even when things get wild
3. Leading recruitment, training, and all things team culture
4. Full control of operations — from P&L and stock to compliance and rota magic
5. Driving results, smashing KPIs, and bringing fresh ideas to the table
Who you are:
You’re not just good with people — you’re a natural.
You know how to lead a team, hold the room, and still make a guest feel like they’re the only person in it.
6. You’ve been a General Manager (or a seriously strong Assistant GM) in a busy, food-focused setting
7. You thrive under pressure, bring the calm in the chaos, and keep standards sky-high
8. You’ve got commercial savvy – you speak P&L fluently and understand what makes a site tick
9. You care – about your team, your guests, and creating something special every shift
What’s in it for you?
Besides a chance to lead one of our flagship Restaurants? Loads.
10. Up to £50,000 (inc. service & tips)
11. Management bonus scheme
12. 50% discount for you at SSP brands
13. 75% off during your shift
14. Wellbeing support
15. 24/7 access to GP online services
16. Award-winning training & real progression through SSP’s career pathways
17. Mentoring Programme
18. Inclusive employee networks – be you, and be celebrated for it
