General Manager

Farmer J has brought London's much-loved, scratch-cooked food to NYC, and we're just getting started.

With exciting expansion plans ahead, we're looking for exceptional General Managers to lead our future New York restaurants.

This is an opportunity to join a growing brand, help build brilliant teams from the ground up and play a key role in bringing Farmer J to more New Yorkers.

At Farmer J, everything starts with food. We cook from scratch, on-site, every day, using exceptional ingredients.

We deliver restaurant-quality food at fast casual speed and volume, without compromising standards. That takes outstanding leadership, operational discipline and a genuine obsession with getting the details right.

As General Manager, you'll take ownership of a Farmer J restaurant, leading everything from kitchen production and food quality to front-of-house service, people development and commercial performance.

You'll be responsible for:

• Food & service: Delivering exceptional scratch-cooked food and outstanding customer experiences, consistently and at pace.

• People: Recruiting, building and developing a high-performing management and restaurant team.

• Operations: Driving service readiness, speed, cleanliness, food safety and operational excellence.

• Commercial performance: Owning the P&L, managing labour, food costs, waste and profitability.

• Standards: Setting clear expectations, coaching your team and creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

• New openings: Helping establish strong teams, systems and standards as we grow across NYC.

You're a hands-on, food-focused operator who leads from the front, inspires your team and never walks past a problem.

You'll bring:

• Proven General Manager experience in high-volume fast casual, quick-service or premium food-led restaurants.

• A strong understanding of kitchen operations, fresh food production and scratch cooking.

• Experience recruiting, developing and leading high-performing teams.

• Strong commercial acumen and proven P&L ownership.

• Exceptional attention to detail, organisation and operational discipline.

• The energy, resilience and ambition to thrive in a fast-paced, growing business.

Above all, you care deeply about the food, the customer experience and the people who make it happen.

We're building something special in New York, and you'll have the opportunity to play a meaningful part in our growth.

• Competitive compensation package, including paid time off.

• Daily food allowance on shift, plus unlimited coffee.

• 50% discount at Farmer J when you're off duty.

• Your birthday off, fully paid.

• Health and commuter benefits.

• Ongoing training, coaching and leadership development.

• Genuine opportunities for career progression as we expand across NYC.

• The chance to help launch and shape future Farmer J restaurants.

If you're passionate about great food, building exceptional teams and running a brilliant restaurant, we'd love to hear from you.

Come build the future of Farmer J in NYC.
