Assistant Restaurant Manager

Hello Brighton

Do you know your way around a busy service as well as you know your sirloin? Can you keep things running smoothly when the pressure is on? Ready to be the right-hand person to our Food & Beverage Manager?

We're looking for an Assistant Restaurant to join the team at Pearly Cow Brighton. This is a key role in the team and, as second in charge, you’ll help keep our operation and events function running in ship shape fashion, the team motivated and our guests very well looked after.

Pearly Cow is an independent collection of grill restaurants in Brighton, Margate and York, where we serve up the most indulgent cuts of meat and the freshest fish in gorgeous settings, where you’ll feel right at home.

What you’ll bring doing:

• Supporting the F&B Manager with the day-to-day running of Pearly Cow and our in house events
• Taking the lead during service and confidently stepping up when the F&B Manager is not around
• Leading, motivating and supporting our F&B team to deliver great service
• Maintaining consistently high standards across food, drink, service and guest experience
• Supporting with training, coaching and development of the team
• Helping with rotas, stock, ordering and other operational tasks
• Supporting the planning and delivery of events, private dining and functions
• Dealing with our guest queries and resolving any issues quickly and positively
• Making sure our restaurant and events operation is welcoming and ready to go

What you’ll bring to the table:

• Experienced in restaurant service and confident leading a team
• Passionate about food, people, and creating memorable moments
• Calm under pressure, quick on your feet, and always guest-focused
• Ready to bring warmth, wit, and a touch of Brighton magic to every shift

If your aspiration is to work for a company that understands you and trusts your instincts when it comes to hospitality and you’ve been looking for this kind of role for a while. Guess what, we’ve been looking for you too!

What’s in it for you!

• Work in a stylish, intimate restaurant that feels more like a home than a collection of restaurants.
• Be part of a small, close-knit team where your ideas matter.
• Competitive pay, and plenty of guest-powered stories.
• An extra holiday day for your birthday.
• No split shifts
• All breaks are paid.
• Our team have their own team room - with their own pantry full of food, to use whenever they like. Grab a snack! Plus, get a free meal on shift.
• You can stay/dine with your family and friends in any of our hotels/restaurants/spas at a great discount.
• The satisfaction of turning a meal into a cherished memory.
