General Manager – The Salt Room, Brighton
Proudly Brighton. Riviera in spirit. Cooked over fire.
Perched on Brighton’s seafront, with the horizon in
full view and the West Pier in silhouette, The Salt Room is a true coastal
classic. Here, line-caught seafood meets fire, craft meets confidence, and
long, unhurried lunches roll into champagne-lit evenings. It’s refined,
uplifting, and unmistakably by the sea.
Following a landmark refurbishment, The Salt Room
is entering a bold new chapter. We’re looking for an exceptional General
Manager to lead it - someone who can balance the rhythm of service
with the rigour of the numbers and set the tone for a team that delivers
brilliance, plate after plate, service after service.
This is a role for a true operator: calm under
pressure, commercially sharp, and completely at home in a high-volume, premium
dining room where standards matter and atmosphere counts.
The Role
As General Manager, you’ll take full ownership of one of Brighton’s most
iconic restaurants. You’ll be the steady hand on the helm - shaping culture,
setting standards, and steering performance - while staying present on the
floor, where the energy of the room lives.
From a sun-soaked terrace lunch to a packed
Saturday night service, you’ll lead from the front. Behind the scenes, you’ll
keep a close eye on costs, forecasts and performance, ensuring the business is
as healthy as it is vibrant.
What you’ll be responsible for
· Full P&L ownership and commercial performance
· Budgeting, forecasting, cost control and revenue
growth
· Leading, developing and inspiring a large FOH &
BOH team
· Creating a culture of high standards, warmth and
accountability
· Delivering consistently exceptional guest
experiences
· Maintaining operational excellence in a fast-paced,
premium environment
· Building and nurturing a strong, engaged management
team
