Assistant General Manager

As an Assistant General Manager at The Botanist, you will balance your time between managing the Restaurant and Bar Managers while also working closely with the Senior Kitchen team to learn as much as possible. An AGM is the ultimate people role where you take on the responsibility of appraisals, 1:1 meetings, HR issues and recruitment.

You will be the go-to person for the whole team and so all queries, questions and issues come directly to you. The overall strategy and vision come from your General Manager and it is up to you do execute this perfectly in their vision. You will lead the Duty Managers and trust them to deliver their targets, tracking their performance and helping them to succeed.
