Job Title: Outlet Manager 

Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 

Package: 9,800 - 11,500 AED per month, plus monthly service, accommodation, & family status

I'm currently supporting a Michelin recognised restaurant, in Abu Dhabi, with their search for an Outlet Manager. 

This role would be heading up all FOH operations for a very small & very intimate luxury dining venue which specialises predominantly in Asian cuisine. 

You'll be leading a wider FOH team of 10, and we're looking for someone who is very commercially savvy - as this person will be expected to identify new revenue streams & partnership opportunities with the aim to drive new business & increase daily/weekly/monthly footfall. 

We're needing someone who's WSET qualified (Level 2 and above) and has their finger on the pulse when it comes to global wine trends - as this person will ideally be able to build & produce a sophisticated wine list (South African, Australian, & New Zealand territories are definitely preferred). 

A very strong preference for candidates to have regional GCC experience in luxury dining environments, although this can be overlooked should they have an incredibly strong sommelier background. 

The Must Haves:

• Minimum of 5 years leading a high-volume, luxury restaurant or bar operation preferably in the Middle East/GCC region.
• A minimum certification or extensive understanding of Wine trends worldwide, capable to build a sophisticated Wine list.
• Proven ability to manage budgets, analyse performance data, and drive profitability within the context of the Abu Dhabi market.
• Developed and executed comprehensive Marketing plans, identifying new revenue streams and partnership opportunities.
• Demonstrated expertise in implementing and maintaining top-notch food and beverage service standards.
