Become Restaurant Manager at Jade 

At Restaurant Jade, located in the heart of Copenhagen, just steps away from Tivoli Gardens and the Glyptotek, we are creating a dining experience where exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and a vibrant atmosphere come together. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an ambitious and passionate Restaurant Manager who wants to play a key role in leading our team, driving performance, and shaping the future of the restaurant.

If you are an experienced leader with a passion for hospitality, people development, and operational excellence, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As Restaurant Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the daily operation of the restaurant and play a key role in its continued growth and success. You will have significant influence over both day-to-day performance and long-term results, always with a focus on delivering exceptional guest experiences while creating a positive and motivating workplace for your team.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Ensuring the restaurant achieves its KPIs, budgets, and financial targets through close follow-up and a strong commercial mindset.
  • Creating staff schedules that balance outstanding guest experiences, employee well-being, and efficient operations.
  • Leading, coaching, and developing your team on a daily basis, with a strong focus on employee performance, leadership, and guest satisfaction—areas in which your own performance will also be measured.
  • Managing purchasing and inventory to ensure efficient stock control and cost management.
  • Working confidently with the restaurant's operational systems and using them proactively to create structure and optimise performance.
  • Driving the ongoing development of the restaurant in close collaboration with the Operations Manager, identifying opportunities for improvement and ensuring continued growth and success.

We're Looking For

This role requires excellent organisational skills, strong commercial awareness, and an outstanding service mindset. You thrive in the fast-paced energy of busy weekends but are equally passionate about creating memorable experiences for guests enjoying a quiet Tuesday evening dinner.

We are looking for someone who has experience managing larger restaurants and is comfortable leading and developing a diverse team. Since the role involves significant people management responsibilities, previous leadership experience is essential. Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—are considered a significant advantage.

Ideally, you also:

  • Have a genuine passion for hospitality, service, and leadership.
  • Enjoy developing future leaders and helping employees reach their full potential.
  • Thrive in a young, ambitious, and dynamic team environment.
  • Take ownership and responsibility for the restaurant's overall performance.
  • Are highly organised and able to plan service while delegating tasks in a motivating and constructive way.
  • Are eager to continue developing your career within the hospitality industry.
  • Have a strong financial understanding and are committed to ensuring a profitable operation.
  • Are experienced in working with KPIs and are constantly motivated to improve yesterday's results.
  • Are comfortable working evenings and weekends.

What We Offer

As part of a larger restaurant family, you'll become part of a strong and supportive community where experienced colleagues and specialists will help you grow both personally and professionally.

In addition, we offer:

  • Excellent training and development opportunities, including hospitality and sommelier courses.
  • Social events and staff parties throughout the year.
  • 50% employee discount when dining at our other restaurants.
  • Salary based on qualifications and experience.
  • Pension scheme and private health insurance.
