Berenjak Borough are seeking an Assistant General Manager to join their team. The successful candidate will be friendly, personable and passionate about all things food and drink. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Assistant General Manager looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.

The Restaurant

Berenjak, the Iranian restaurant from Kian Samyani and JKS Restaurants. Our Borough Market restaurant follows Berenjak's first site, which opened in Soho in 2018 and was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019.

Berenjak Borough offers an expanded menu that includes several new homestyle Iranian dishes, alongside all the signature Berenjak classics. Just as the original Berenjak introduced diners to the flavours of Tehran's hole-in-the-wall eateries, the new restaurant brings the classic charcoal-grilled kebabs, such as the minced lamb koodibeh and poussin jujeh tond, for which Berenjak is best known. Many of the signature mazeh small plates from our Soho restaurant also make the jump to Borough, including the black chickpea hummus, the Panir Sabzi (Persian feta with radish, fresh herbs, and nuts), and the taftoon clay-baked sourdough seeded flatbread.

The Position

We're looking for an Assistant General Manager with experience managing a small Front of House team, who is confident, proactive and a roll-your-sleeves-up kind of leader. You will continually commit to the highest standards of service and operations, and working closely with the management team, you will be responsible for the overall performance of the front of house team, managing financials, recruitment and team development, stock management and health and safety.

As Assistant General Manager, you will be responsible for:

  • Overseeing a large restaurant team and ensuring the running of a smooth service
  • Welcoming and attending to guests with an exceptional level of care and service, ensuring that they leave with a positive and memorable experience;
  • Inspiring, motivating and training waiting staff to deliver the highest levels of service;
  • Carrying out all opening and closing procedures.

The successful Assistant General Manager will have:

  • Previous experience as an Assistant General Manager or Restaurant Manager ready to take on more responsibility;
  • Warm and welcoming persona, along with a hands-on approach to work and impeccable attention to detail;
  • Proven ability to lead, train and inspire a team;
  • Passion for hospitality and a good knowledge of food and beverage;

Eagerness to learn and develop your career within an award-winning restaurant group.

Benefits & Culture
