Restaurant Manager - Premium Casual Concept

Package: up to 14,500 AED per month, plus benefits

I'm currently supporting one of GCC's most well-known hospitality brands, with their search for a Restaurant Manager.

This role would be heading one of their flagship stores, here in Dubai, and we're looking for an experienced Restaurant Manager who has a proven track record in overseeing high footfall, high turnover venues.

This role would be reporting directly into the Operations Director, and you'd be responsible for overseeing a wider team of circa 35+. You'd be responsible for managing all FOH, BOH, Retail, & Grab & Go operations.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong background managing successful independent, high-end/premium casual dining concepts (with a full commercial grasp of budgets, P&Ls, forecasts, etc.) - and those who come from more of a Quick Service background wouldn't be the right fit on this particular occasion.

Relocation isn't provided for this role, and we can only consider those who are based within the UAE already.

What we're looking for:

• Initiative and Commitment to Achieve – The tendency to act in a self-directed way, by taking action before being directed or forced by events; to seize opportunities, seek in-depth information and do significantly more than is required.
• Team Development - Provides guidance, support and constructive feedback to enhance others' capabilities.
• Decision Making – Able to take a balanced view, to recognize priorities and to weigh up different options to reach logical conclusions and decide on a plan of action.
• Conflict Management – The ability to pull together individuals or parties in conflict by diffusing emotions, identifying the critical issues and helping to reach a compromise; keeps the focus on common objectives to meet both needs.
• Strategic Thinking – The ability to see patterns or relationships between complex situations from related or unrelated areas; seeing the large picture.
• Professional Knowledge – Possesses a wide understanding of professional issues related to a specific functional area that adds value to work output. Professional Knowledge encompasses all aspects of knowledge. For example, knowledge of the F&B industry, competition, functional area.

What you'll need:

• At least 3-5 years in the hospitality business; hotel or restaurant management qualification preferable including financial basic knowledge.
• To have Food Industry Customer Service background and qualifications.
• Essential Knowledge of the Internet, MS Office and Email; experience with in-house technical systems.
• Strong communication skills in English both verbal and written.
• Restaurant and catering experience is essential. Experience of managing a delivery service is an added advantage.
• Good with people, independent and able to work towards targets.
