Job Description
For our restaurant The Idler near London Victoria Station we are looking for a Restaurant Manager!
We’re proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces 2026 by Great Place To Work, something that reflects the people, energy and culture we build together every day.
The concept
Nestled in the heart of London, our location is more than just a restaurant or bar; it’s a mindset that embraces balance between work and life. Here, time slows down, but your ambitions are still welcome, because we believe life is too short to be busy without purpose.
Enjoy small plates crafted to energize you without disrupting your flow, and let our drinks guide you from midday inspiration into a leisurely evening. So come, and embrace the art of doing nothing.
Our restaurant will be a place for breakfast and all day dining. The kitchen and bar are working together very closely since there is an open kitchen bar that runs through the restaurant. The restaurant will be serving an all day food menu that consists of creative and high quality dishes to share (or not). The all day dining menu plays tribute with a playful spin on British Classics where dishes are uncomplicated, true to their ingredients and have a real punch on British produce.
Next to a restaurant and bar, the location offers three 8 pax meeting rooms and a Deli.
The Job
We’re looking for a Restaurant Manager to take full ownership of our F&B operation and help shape the experience, energy and performance of the restaurant every single day. Working closely with the General Manager, you’ll lead the full F&B operation and play a key role in creating a restaurant that feels alive where guests feel genuinely looked after, teams feel supported and service feels natural rather than scripted. You’ll be leading from the floor, building culture, driving performance and making sure the operation runs smoothly day to day. Alongside the guest experience and team leadership side of the role, you’ll also take ownership of the financial performance of the business including budgeting, forecasting, cost control and helping drive revenue and profitability. We’re looking for someone who understands that a successful restaurant is about more than great service alone. Someone who can confidently balance people, operations and commercial performance to help the restaurant continue to grow and succeed.
