At KIBOU Restaurants, we're looking for an exceptional General Manager to join our team and head up our exciting new 8000 sq. ft restaurant opening in central Birmingham.

Planned to open this summer in 2026, as the opening General Manager, you'll be responsible for all aspects of project management leading up to the opening, including input into the design and layout of the restaurant. You will also be responsible for recruiting and developing a team capable of executing a top-rate restaurant opening, with the freedom to create a unique team culture from day one. While we provide all the extensive hands-on training you'll need in Japanese cuisine and culture, we're looking for a leader who can work with high levels of autonomy and is self-motivated with a drive to achieve excellence in all tasks that they undertake.

KIBOU is an independent Japanese restaurant and bar with restaurants in Battersea, Cheltenham, Bristol, Solihull, Oxford and Cambridge.
