Tonic are pleased to partner with our client to recruit a General Manager to lead a varied and growing contract catering operation at a major industrial site in Cumbria. This isn't a single-site role. You'll be overseeing a diverse estate that spans traditional canteen-style dining, coffee shops, grab-and-go units and mobile catering with a pipeline of new opportunities already in development. The operation is predominantly Monday to Friday, breakfast and lunch, though flexibility will be needed as the service expands. You'll be the one setting the standard for food quality, for service culture, for how the team develops while managing the commercial and strategic performance of the full contract.
What are we looking for from General Manager candidates?
Proven experience as a General Manager within contract catering or a large multi-outlet operation
Strong commercial acumen confident owning P&L, budgets and KPI delivery across financial, H&S, sustainability and governance
A genuine people developer mentoring, empowering and recognising your team is as important to you as the numbers
Skilled at building credible, collaborative relationships with clients and key stakeholders
A track record of creating high-performing team cultures with uncompromising food and service standards
Strategic thinker able to plan and implement across the full catering operation, including mobilisation of new units and marketing activity
A natural eye for commercial opportunity always looking at where the operation can grow and improve
