I’m recruiting an experienced Restaurant General Manager to lead the opening and full operation of a high-end, fine-dining restaurant in Budapest. This is a flagship project within a luxury hotel environment, but the role is restaurant-first . Strong standalone restaurant experience is far more important than a hotel background.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how to build teams, set service culture, and deliver a consistently exceptional guest experience at the top end of the market.

Perks & Benefits

* A‚¬6,700 gross monthly salary
* Lead a high-profile fine-dining restaurant opening
* Long-term career progression within a growing hospitality group
* Strong backing from senior leadership
* High level of ownership over service standards and operations

Your Experience

* International experience is essential
* Strong background in high-end or fine-dining restaurants
* Proven experience as a Restaurant General Manager or senior operational leader
* Exposure to chef-driven or premium restaurant concepts is highly desirable
* Excellent understanding of refined service standards and guest journey
* Confident managing budgets, labour, and overall financial performance
* Proven ability to recruit, train, and retain high-performing teams
* Stable career history with clear progression
* Fluent English required; additional languages are a plus
* Must already have the right to live and work in the EU

Your Responsibilities

* Lead the pre-opening and day-to-day operations of the restaurant
* Set and maintain exceptional service and hospitality standards
* Build, train, and develop a strong front-of-house team
* Oversee financial performance, cost control, and operational efficiency
* Ensure full compliance with hygiene, safety, and brand standards
* Drive continuous improvement across service, systems, and guest experience
* Work closely with senior management to deliver a cohesive and standout concept
