Assistant Restaurant Manager

Assistant Restaurant Manager –

We are hiring an Assistant Restaurant Manager for a new all-day brunch restaurant opening in November on Soi Sukhumvit 31 in Bangkok. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their hospitality career — or making a transition into it — who is confident, organized, and thrives when dealing with people, whether that's guests, suppliers, or government officials.

About the Role

You will work closely with the Restaurant Manager to keep daily operations running smoothly. Alongside supporting the floor and the team, you will take direct ownership of administrative and compliance matters — acting as the restaurant's key point of contact with all public authorities and external institutions. This is a hands-on, varied role that suits someone who is proactive, presentable, and unafraid to pick up the phone or walk into a government office.

• Coordinate inspections and ensure the restaurant is always audit-ready
• Handle documentation and submissions required by relevant authorities
