Granger & Co.Notting Hill
City Of Westminster, London
ABOUT US Since we opened our doors in London in 2011, Granger & Co. has brought the relaxed, sunny Australian way of dining to the city. Our restaurants reflect the spirit that Bill Granger made known around the world: easy-going, generous excellence. Our food makes people feel good. It is full of flavour, goodness and vitality. We thoughtfully source the best possible ingredients with a sunny, colourful lightness, and the emotional comfort of food is as important to us as how it looks and tastes. We celebrate seasonality, champion local growers and suppliers and prioritise ingredients grown with care for the world. As a family-owned restaurant group that is constantly evolving, we value all employees as respected individuals and foster diversity and inclusion, with everyone given a chance to share their voice and ideas. People stay with us and grow with us, many for over a decade. THE ROLE This is a full-time position with a mix of daytime, evening and weekend shifts. As a vital support to the General Manager, you will take ownership of the daily operation, confidently managing the floor and ensuring service runs smoothly at all times. You will lead and motivate all departments with pace and attention to detail, inspiring them through seasonal menu changes and teaching with generosity to build skills and confidence. You will have a support team working with you including our Bar Manager, Restaurant Manager and Head Chef. ABOUT YOU You love hospitality, from the joy of sharing great food and drink to creating memorable experiences for guests. You are a hands-on and proactive who can confidently guide a team through demanding, high-volume shifts, raising the bar in hospitality, customer service and setting the standard on the floor. Calm under pressure, organised and solutions-focused, you thrive in a fast-paced environment where every detail matters. You understand what makes service exceptional and know how to bring together front and back of house to ensure the restaurant runs seamlessly. With previous experience as an Assistant General Manager or in a similar role, you are hungry to step up to the next level. Above all, you care deeply about guest satisfaction, teamwork, and creating an inclusive environment where both guests and teams feel genuinely welcome. WHAT WE OFFER A real work-life balance in a people-first business with teams who love what they do. An additional day of holiday for every year of service after two years. Access to wellbeing support and private GP services through Hospitality Rewards. Freshly made staff meals every shift. 50% off when you dine in our restaurants (for up to four people). Cycle to work scheme. Enhanced maternity pay (after 40 weeks of service). Ongoing learning opportunities and visits to the farms and producers we work with. We believe great food and hospitality bring people together. Our kitchens and restaurants are places where every team member is heard, supported, respected and encouraged to grow. We are proud of our inclusive culture and the positive energy it brings to our restaurants. If you are excited by the idea of cooking seasonal, ingredient-led food with a team who cares about flavour and hospitality, we would love to hear from you.
