Our client is one of the UK’s leading restaurant and bar providers to airport locations throughout the UK.They are responsible for these heavy footfall, large turnover sites providing food and beverages to airport visitors both land side and airside.

Due to the continues expansion of the business, new opportunities are going to arise in the business and we are looking for experienced General Managers to join the business and take full control of the operation.

Hospitality in an airport is very different to the traditional norm, they do not rely on regular custom and are very reliant on passenger numbers, therefore peak times are more likely to be early morning and lunch, however, it is important to remember that your customers are usually on very tight timescales so time management is essential.

As these operations are branded and have a high street presence, customers will have high expectations on both quality and service, therefore as General Manager you will:

·Be self motivated and be able to motivate others

·Able to deal with early starts, some sites open at 4am and will have a queue of customers from the minute the doors open

·Have excellent organizational and time management skills

·Be able to handle pressure in a calm and effective manner
