Sales Manager - Restaurant - Leeds

Job Title: Sales Manager
Location: Leeds
Salary: Up to £43,000 + performance-based bonus

Mediterranean Food, Craft Cocktails & Leeds Nightlife Energy

We're searching for a Sales Manager with a true foodie soul - someone who lives for bold flavours, expertly mixed cocktails, and the electric buzz of a packed room on a Friday night.

This is not just a restaurant. It's a vibrant Mediterranean all-day dining and cocktail destination, where fresh local ingredients meet signature flavours, creative drinks, and a late-night atmosphere that draws Leeds in. From small plates and à la carte dining to cocktails that keep guests lingering long after dessert, this is a venue built for people who love to eat, drink, and socialise.

If you know how to turn great food and cocktails into a must-visit experience - this role has your name on it.

The Role

The best hospitality venues don't rely on walk-ins - they create demand, buzz, and loyalty. Your mission is to make sure this venue is talked about, booked out, and buzzing from day to night.

This role blends sales, nightlife energy, and brand building, perfect for someone who understands how food culture, cocktails, and social scenes collide. You'll be out in Leeds, building relationships, hosting, collaborating, and turning moments into memories (and revenue).

What You'll Be Driving

• Creating consistent footfall across lunch, dinner, and late-night trade

• Building strong relationships with local businesses, agencies, and nightlife partners

• Connecting with foodies, cocktail lovers, influencers, DJs, and creatives

• Driving private dining, group bookings, cocktail-led events, and collaborations

• Elevating the venue's presence across social and digital platforms

• Positioning the restaurant as a go-to destination for food, drinks, and atmosphere

Who This Will Suit

• A Sales Manager, hospitality professional, or brand-led operator with a passion for food and cocktails

• Someone who loves being in venues, hosting, networking, and creating energy

• Commercially sharp but creatively driven

• Confident being the face of a brand and building genuine relationships

• Well-connected in Leeds nightlife and food scene - or excited to embed yourself in it

Why Join?

• A bold Mediterranean concept with a serious cocktail offering

• A role that blends hospitality, sales, nightlife, and influence

• Freedom to be creative and shape how the venue is experienced

• Competitive salary with performance-based rewards

• A chance to work in a venue people genuinely want to talk about

If you're open to a discreet conversation about your next move, I'd love to tell you more.

This role is for someone who knows how to turn great food, great drinks, and great energy into a packed room.
