Hospitality General Manager

£35k - £40k per annum
General Manager Margate, Kent
£35,000 - £40,000 + Performance Bonus + Benefits

Are you a hands-on hospitality leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment?

We're recruiting on behalf of a thriving, food-led pub with boutique rooms in the heart of Margate. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced General Manager to take ownership of a busy destination venue renowned for its excellent food, premium drinks offering and outstanding guest experience.

This isn't a traditional hotel or corporate operation – it's a vibrant, high-energy business where weekends are busy, standards are high, and no two days are the same.

The Role As General Manager, you'll have full responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the business, leading from the front and ensuring exceptional standards across the bar, restaurant and boutique accommodation.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Full P&L accountability, including sales, labour, GP and profitability.
  • Leading, motivating and developing both Front of House and Kitchen teams.
  • Delivering exceptional guest experiences across food, drink and accommodation.
  • Driving operational excellence during busy trading periods.
  • Recruitment, coaching, training and retention of a high-performing team.
  • Stock control, cost management and maintaining strong profit margins.
  • Building the venue's reputation and encouraging repeat business.
About You We're looking for someone who:

  • Has previous experience as a General Manager or Operations Manager within a high-volume hospitality environment.
  • Comes from a strong food and beverage background, ideally within a premium pub, restaurant or boutique hotel.
  • Leads by example and enjoys being visible on the floor.
  • Has excellent commercial awareness and understands labour costs, GP and business performance.
  • Thrives under pressure and enjoys leading busy weekend services.
  • Is passionate about delivering outstanding customer service and developing successful teams.
What's on Offer?
  • Competitive salary of £35,000 - £40,000 depending on experience.
  • Performance-related bonus.
  • Company pension.
  • Meals on duty.
  • Staff discounts and additional perks.
  • The opportunity to lead and grow an exciting destination hospitality business.
  • A supportive environment where your ideas and leadership can make a real impact.
If you're an energetic hospitality professional looking for your next challenge and want to lead a busy, successful venue where you can truly make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.
