Job Description
General Manager – Beautiful Independent Café | Chelsea
£40,000 + Bonus | Great Work-Life Balance
We’re looking for a passionate and business-minded General Manager to take the lead at a buzzy, much-loved café in Chelsea. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a thriving independent business with a loyal following, a beautiful setup (both indoor and outdoor spaces), and a talented team.
About the Venue:
This café is a true local gem, known for its warm atmosphere, and lively energy throughout the day. It’s a place where quality, personality, and community really matter.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a GM who’s both hands-on and entrepreneurial, someone who can bring fresh ideas, maximise sales, and continue to build on the café’s strong reputation. You’ll lead a team of 10+, manage P&L, oversee training and development, and work closely with the owners. A little bar experience would be a bonus, from menu tweaks to introducing new alcoholic beverage offerings, but what really matters is your drive, creativity, and people-first approach.
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven experience as a General Manager in a café or similar hospitality environment
* Strong business and commercial mindset, confident with P&L and sales growth
* A natural leader who inspires and develops their team
* Creative, proactive, and full of ideas to enhance guest experience
* Positive personality who’ll fit seamlessly into a friendly, long-standing team
* Passion for great food, service, and community
