General Manager – The leading Gastro Pub and Restaurant in Richmond, very competitive salary and bonus package.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to lead the premier food and drink venue in Richmond Town Centre. The business is well established and operates at a very high level, however there are many aspects of the business that could be developed and exploited by the right General Manager.
The salary and benefits package are more than competitive, we would however like to discuss this in person as we feel these discussions should be had on a one to one basis and based on experience and future expectations rather than salary bands published on the internet.
