Floor Manager – Leeds City Centre, LS1 – £39,000–£44,000
(Floor Manager / Duty Manager / Assistant Manager)
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Floor Manager to join a values-led independent restaurant group as they open a new site in Leeds city centre, LS1 – summer 2026.
This is a senior FOH role in a high-volume, all-day dining operation. If you are currently working as a Floor Manager, Assistant Manager, Duty Manager or AGM in a large, busy restaurant or cocktail bar – whether that’s in Leeds or you are open to relocating to West Yorkshire – this is a role worth a conversation.
The salary sits at £39,000–£44,000 per year, inclusive of tronc. Full-time, five days across Monday to Sunday.
The Business
This is a well-established, London-founded independent restaurant group with a strong reputation for doing things the right way. Not a chain. Not a hotel group. A real operator – built on culture, standards, and the kind of FOH team you actually want to work in.
The sites are busy – each location runs around 8,000 covers a week. FOH teams run 40–50 per shift, all-day dining, seven days a week. Leeds is a new opening – meaning this is a ground-floor opportunity to help build something from day one, in a brand that already knows how to run a great restaurant.
The group is selective about who they bring in. Values matter here as much as technical ability.
You must be:
* A natural leader – someone who reads the room and lifts the team, not just manages the section
* Comfortable in high volume – large teams, big covers, and a floor that doesn't stop
* A communicator – clear with the kitchen, credible with guests, consistent with the team
* Self-aware – you know where you're strong and where you're still developing, and you're honest about both
* Ambitious – you want to grow within a multi-site independent, not tread water in a well-run box
Be able to:
* Lead a large FOH team confidently across a full all-day dining operation
* Demonstrate strong commercial awareness – covers, revenue, labour, waste
* Uphold and develop service standards in a fast, high-footfall environment
* Support and develop junior managers and supervisors beneath you
* Operate across Monday to Sunday with a full-time, five-day pattern
