Restaurant Manager - Brighton i360

Big venue. Big energy. Brighton seafront.

Brighton i360 is not your average hospitality site - and this is not your average Restaurant Manager role.

Right on Brighton's seafront, i360 brings together a restaurant, bar, café, events space, private hires and visitor experience in one iconic destination. From relaxed daytime dining and busy brunch trade to sunset cocktails, private events and packed summer weekends, this is a venue with serious pace, atmosphere and opportunity.

We're looking for a strong Restaurant Manager to lead the restaurant operation, build an exceptional floor team and deliver standout guest experiences in one of Brighton's most exciting beachfront venues.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced hospitality, loves leading from the floor and knows how to balance high standards with great energy.

The Role

As Restaurant Manager, you'll lead the day-to-day restaurant operation, overseeing service, team performance and guest experience while helping drive standards across the wider venue.

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading the restaurant team through busy services and peak trading periods
• Delivering exceptional guest experiences from start to finish
• Managing bookings, service flow and daily operations
• Supporting labour control, stock management and financial performance
• Training, developing and motivating the team
• Handling guest feedback and resolving issues confidently
• Ensuring compliance, health & safety and licensing standards are maintained
• Working closely with senior management to drive performance across the site

About You

You'll already have experience leading restaurant teams in busy, high-volume hospitality environments.

You might currently be a Restaurant Manager, Assistant General Manager or experienced Assistant Manager ready for a bigger challenge in a more dynamic venue.

You'll bring:

• Strong restaurant floor management experience
• Confidence leading large teams in fast-paced environments
• A hands-on, energetic and visible leadership style
• Excellent guest service and people skills
• Strong operational and organisational standards
• Experience managing high-volume trade
• A passion for hospitality, food, drinks and guest experience
• The ability to stay calm and organised under pressure

Why i360?

Because this is hospitality with a sea view - and no two days ever look the same.

You'll get:

• £14.50 - £15.00 per hour + service charge
• Up to 50% discount on food and drink across all our awesome venues.
• Deals and discounts with a wide range of businesses through our discount portal.
• Early access to your pay through Wagestream.
• £10,000 life assurance to support your loved ones if the worst happens.
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which provides consultation sessions on mental health, well-being and finance, grants, and any other needed support.
• Career progression opportunities within Nightcap
• The opportunity to work in one of Brighton's most iconic venues
• A unique beachfront working environment
• A fast-paced, high-energy role with real variety

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage from the sidelines.

We need someone who loves the floor, builds strong teams, creates atmosphere and knows how to deliver brilliant hospitality when the venue is at full pace.
