Restaurant Manager - Isaacs

Isaacs isn’t your average hotel restaurant - it’s a place where great food, great service, and great music meet. By day it’s a modern British brasserie with a French twist; by night, the lights drop, the tempo rises, and Downstairs at The Grand comes alive with live music, craft cocktails, and that unmistakable speakeasy cabaret buzz.

We’re looking for a Restaurant Manager to join Isaacs at The Grand Hotel Birmingham who can bring the best out of both spaces – someone who can glide through a busy breakfast service, charm guests over dinner, and lead the team confidently through a packed late-night music performance.

If you’ve got natural charisma, a love of great food and great music, and the leadership style that makes people want to follow you, you’ll feel right at home at Isaacs.

• Leading the team with confidence, warmth, and a consistently welcoming presence.
• Overseeing seamless service across breakfast, lunch, dinner, room service, and the late-night music venue.
• Knowing our menus inside out and guiding guests with spot-on recommendations.
• Working closely with kitchen and bar colleagues to deliver smooth, standout service.
• Managing staffing, stock, and standards to keep everything running effortlessly.

• Experience leading a high-quality restaurant or bar team.
• A natural ability to connect with guests and colleagues alike.
• Calm control during busy dining periods and lively late-night events.
• Confidence with booking systems, rotas, and stock management.
• Flexibility across evenings and weekends — and a genuine love for hospitality.

If this sounds like your kind of place, apply today and see what you could bring to Isaacs at The Grand Hotel Birmingham.
