An invitation to Bombay Bootcamp - A once in a lifetime educational trip to Bombay, giving you the chance learn more about the culture, flavours and stories that shape all that we do.

Also, you are empowered to do the right thing when no one is looking. We never want to deter from our service standards, and aim to pursue unreasonable hospitality to our guests every day through Seva. On top of that, our healthy pay, plentiful benefits and well being support we have in place aren't too bad either! Our Babus' Day out and Christmas celebration as our way of saying "thank you" to our teams for 2024, was our best yet! So, what are we looking for? As General Manager: You have been working as a Senior General Manager/ Senior Training support Manager/ Openings General Manager in a high volume, multi faceted bar/restaurant environment for the past few years. You're first class in everything you do and want to find an operation that's as obsessive about quality as you are and help you flourish. You're a great leader who really cares about your people. Your big hearted approach will make coaching and developing other members of the team a natural focus. Your attention to detail is second to none. All paperwork, health and safety and other controls are handled with the utmost care and attention. You have a genuine commitment to making people happy - guest and team alike - ensuring you have one of the happiest teams in the business and guests that turn into regulars and regulars into friends.
