Head of Restaurants

As Head of Restaurants for Manchester City’s new Entertainment District - Medlock Square, you will play a pivotal role in shaping, and elevating the food and restaurant identity across a diverse portfolio of venues operating 365 days a year.

The restaurant estate will comprise a diverse portfolio of food-led concepts, including premium destination dining, all-day restaurants, café/bar formats and a market-hall environment featuring independent food vendors. It will also include the restaurant in The Medlock Hotel, a 401 bedroom hotel. These concepts will range from casual, high-quality daytime dining to premium, destination-led evening experiences, operating across both event/match days and non-event/match days.

You will act as the senior restaurant operations lead, working closely with the Director of Restaurants (MCFC), Director of F&B Operations, Culinary and Front of House teams to define the vision, standards, and performance of each concept from pre-opening through to long-term operation.

Your role will be critical in ensuring that each restaurant delivers a distinct identity, exceptional guest experience, strong commercial performance, and operational consistency, while operating within a coherent estate-wide framework for standards, performance and guest experience. 

To succeed, you will bring deep experience from multi-site, multi-concept hospitality operations, combining creativity and trend awareness with operational rigour, people leadership, and commercial discipline.
