Are you an experienced General Manager who loves being hands-on, leading teams and running a busy catering operation?
I'm recruiting a General Manager for a flagship healthcare catering and retail operation in North London.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a newly launched site, develop a team and drive the food, service and commercial performance.
We're looking for a real doer. Someone who enjoys being on the floor, understands the numbers and knows how to get the best out of their team.
Salary & Benefits
- £40,000 to £50,000 salary.
- Predominantly Monday to Friday.
- Occasional weekend working.
- Flagship contract catering operation.
- Opportunity to develop and improve the site.
- Established team and administrative support.
The Operation
- Busy hospital staff and visitor catering.
- Four food and retail outlets.
- Hot food counters and fresh daily meals.
- Coffee shops, grab-and-go and retail.
- Convenience store and self-service facilities.
- Occasional hospitality and themed food events.
- Approximately 15 team members.
- Seven-day operation.
The Role
- Oversee all four catering and retail outlets.
- Lead, motivate and develop the management team.
- Drive food quality, customer service and standards.
- Manage budgets, labour costs and financial reporting.
- Monitor sales, performance and profitability.
- Build strong relationships with clients and stakeholders.
- Maintain excellent compliance and operational standards.
- Identify opportunities to improve the customer experience.
- Be visible, hands-on and involved in daily operations.
About You
- Experienced General Manager or Senior Catering Manager.
- Background in contract catering, B&I, healthcare, retail catering or high-volume hospitality.
- Experience managing multiple food and beverage outlets.
- Strong financial reporting, budgeting and commercial skills.
- Confident leading teams and holding people accountable.
- Excellent communicator with strong client management skills.
- Organised, proactive and comfortable making decisions.
- Must be equally confident on the floor and managing the numbers.
Healthcare experience isn't essential. We'd love to hear from General Managers with strong B&I contract catering, food retail or motorway service operations experience.
If you're looking for a General Manager role in North London, paying up to £50,000, where you can take ownership of a flagship operation and make a genuine impact, I'd love to hear from you.
