Restaurant Manager

Northern Soul is on the hunt for a Restaurant Manager who is looking for a new challenge. We want you to run with, grow and develop the business to even grater things!!

Who Are we?

A highly regarded Manchester independent with a reputation for serving up great quality comfort food (with a slight emphasis on cheese!!), with a main focus on delivering exceptional customer service, our staff are the driving force behind this regardless of position. Did we mention we play a little bit of Northern Soul for good measure to match the pace of the restaurant?!

What are we looking for?
