Restaurant Manager New Opening

About the role:

An exciting opportunity for an experienced Restaurant Manager to join one of Scotland’s most iconic luxury hotels for the opening of a brand-new Japanese and Chinese restaurant concept in April 2027.

The restaurant will feature 60–70 covers, an open kitchen counter and private dining, serving lunch and dinner five days a week. This will be a high-volume operation, delivering 2,000+ covers, with a menu centred around Peking duck, robata and sushi.

Reporting to the F&B Manager, you will lead the day-to-day operation and a team of approximately 27 across FOH and BOH, playing a key role in the pre-opening and launch.

About you:

We are looking for a hands-on Restaurant Manager with experience in a luxury hotel, premium restaurant or high-volume dining environment. You will be a strong people leader with a passion for exceptional service and creating memorable guest experiences.

Pre-opening experience would be a bonus, but attitude, personality and a genuine spirit of adventure are just as important.

The hotel holds a UK sponsorship licence and can consider candidates who are already based in the UK on a valid visa, including those who may require sponsorship when their current visa comes to an end. Unfortunately, they are unable to sponsor candidates relocating from overseas.

The package:

£50,000 + c. £8,500 tronc, with on-site accommodation available for approximately £300 per month. Ideally starting January 2027, with flexibility to join earlier.
