Restaurant manager

We’re recruiting on behalf of a busy, neighbourhood-style restaurant group in Oxford for a hands-on Restaurant Manager to lead the front-of-house team.

This is a role for someone who genuinely loves hospitality, enjoys being on the floor with guests, and thrives in a fast-paced casual dining environment. The restaurants have a strong local following and a real community feel, so personality, warmth, and presence are just as important as operational ability.

This is not a back-office management role. The business is looking for someone who leads from the front, builds relationships with guests, and creates an atmosphere people want to come back to.

• Hands-on, people-focused hospitality environment
• Strong local following and loyal customer base
• Supportive ownership and established operation
• Fast-paced, energetic service style
• Opportunity to lead and develop a close-knit team

• Lead front-of-house operations during service
• Deliver exceptional guest experience standards
• Train, mentor, and motivate the FOH team
• Manage service flow and team organisation
• Maintain a strong floor presence during busy periods
• Build relationships with regular guests and local clientele
• Support staffing, rotas, and daily operations

• Experience as a Restaurant Manager or strong Assistant Manager
• Background in fast-paced casual dining
• Genuine passion for hospitality and people
• Hands-on leadership style with strong floor presence
• Strong communication and team management skills
• Someone who understands the importance of neighbourhood hospitality and repeat guests
