The Palomar is looking for an experienced, dynamic Restaurant Manager to join the team down in Soho.
Our small space is bursting with the vibrant colours, flavours, sounds and aromas of the rich cultures of Southern Spain and Italy, North Africa and the Levant. Whether in the midst of the action sat up at our kitchen counter, back in the elegant dining room or spilling out onto our street terrace, the atmosphere here remains at the forefront of our city’s dining scene.
You’ll be:
* A confident and vibrant personality who thrives in the buzz of service. Running The Palomar floor is fast-paced, high-energy and fun!
* A strong, responsible leader. From the Directors down, we all lead from the front and by example. You must thrive in taking charge of the daily operation, leading briefings and being the role model for your team.
* Passionate about detailed hospitality and guest experience with a commitment to high standards. You’ll be working closely with the management team and Head Chef on ways to optimise our standards of service.
* An accomplished Restaurant Manager with at least 2 years of previous experience in a similar role. You’ll be able to support the General Manager on onboarding, training, statutory compliance, profitability and maintenance. A strong background in beverage with WSET Level 2 is desirable.
Our benefits:
* Balanced rota, with a variety of daytime and evening shifts.
* Internal growth. You will have the opportunity to develop your career in an ambitious and award-winning restaurant group.
* Up to £2,000 Employee Referral Scheme available to all.
* Paid development courses – WSET, Watershed and more.
* Generous staff discount of up to 50% across all our Studio Paskin venues.
* Cost price wine and supplier discounts.
* Enhanced parental leave package.
* Emergency cash and weekly wage advances with PayCaptain.
* Cycle-to-work scheme.
* Partnership with Kelly's Cause and automatic enrolment onto Hospitality Action’s Employee Assistance Programme – access to counselling, remote GP/physio services, legal advice, and more.
We believe that taking care of our team isn’t an extra perk – it’s our responsibility. At work, you will always have access to free staff meals, proper breaks, and Mental Health First Aid-trained managers to support you.
