We are an established Berlin hospitality group, and we are about to open our most ambitious venue yet: a large-scale restaurant and cocktail bar in Charlottenburg, opening Q1 2027. Construction is in its final stage, serious investment is going into every detail, and the result will be lavish, extravagant and made to be talked about.
We are looking for the person who owns the floor: a hands-on Restaurant Manager who leads from the front, runs a front-of-house team of around 20 and brings the room to life every night.
What you will do
- Be on the floor for every service, hands-on and leading by example from open to close
- Lead and manage the entire front-of-house team, around 20 people across floor, bar and hosts
- Deliver the revenue, average spend and guest satisfaction targets
- Create an electric energy: the pace, atmosphere and sense of occasion that make guests come back
- Coach, motivate and develop the team so that standards stay high on the busiest nights
- Work directly with ownership and in step with the kitchen and operations leadership
What you bring
- Proven experience managing an independent, large, high-end restaurant
- Ideally experience in high-energy concepts, cocktail bars or similar venues
- Solid knowledge of food, beverage, wine and cocktails
- A natural leader with presence, pace and warmth, comfortable on a busy floor
- Fluent English. German is desired but not a must
- EU passport or valid work authorisation for Germany (required)
- Based in Berlin, or elsewhere in Germany or Europe and able to be in Berlin for a January 2027 start
What we offer
- €48,000–60,000 per year OTE: a base salary plus a bonus linked to revenue, average spend and guest satisfaction targets
- Full-time, evenings, weekends and late nights
- Start in January 2027, ahead of the Q1 2027 opening
- A direct reporting line to ownership
- Progression within the group as it grows
- An international team where English is the working language, so expats feel at home from day one
All applications are treated confidentially, and we share full details of the venue in interview.
