About the Role

We’re looking for an ambitious, energetic Restaurant Manager who genuinely enjoys hospitality — someone who loves serving people, building a great team, and making sure every guest leaves happier than they arrived

This is not a desk-only management role

We want someone who is comfortable being on the floor, leading from the front, solving problems quickly and setting the standard for the team through their own actions

What You’ll Own

- Lead the restaurant’s day-to-day operations
- Deliver an excellent guest experience consistently
- Lead, motivate, train and develop the restaurant team
- Maintain high standards of service, food quality, cleanliness and hygiene
- Manage peak-hour operations and ensure smooth coordination between kitchen and service teams
- Handle guest feedback and complaints professionally
- Monitor sales, costs, wastage and operational KPIs
- Manage staff scheduling, attendance and productivity
- Ensure opening, closing and operational SOPs are followed
- Maintain inventory controls and coordinate stock requirements
- Prepare and analyse operational reports using Excel
- Drive initiatives to improve sales, average bill value and repeat customers




- Take complete ownership of the outlet’s performance

Who We’re Looking For

You should have

- Minimum 3 years of experience as a Restaurant Manager
- Strong experience in a casual dining restaurant
- Excellent guest service and people-management skills
- Strong leadership and team-building ability
- Positive working knowledge of Excel and computers
- Ability to understand restaurant numbers and operational reports
- Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
- High energy and the ability to perform well during busy service periods
- A hands-on approach — willing to step in wherever the team needs support

Experience with a South Indian restaurant or cuisine is an added advantage The Person We Want

We’re particularly interested in someone who:

Leads by example

If the restaurant is busy, you’re on the floor.

If a guest has a problem, you take ownership.

If the team needs help, you step in.

If something can be done better, you find a way to improve it

We want someone who sees restaurant management as more than running shifts — someone who wants to build a strong restaurant, develop people and grow with the brand.

If hospitality genuinely makes you happy and you want to take ownership of a restaurant rather than simply manage one, we’d like to hear from you.
