About the job

In November Norrlyst Koncernen opens the doors to Tamashii - a new ambitious restaurant project at one of Copenhagen's most unique locations

Tamashii means “soul” in Japanese, and the kitchen will be modern Asian with Henrik Jyrk's personal imprint. The ambition is high, with technique and raw material quality at the sharp end, but without the formality often associated with fine dining.

From kitchen and service to the wine list and interior, Tamashii is created with an ambition to reach Michelin level.

Now we are seeking a restaurant manager who will help set the direction for the entire guest experience and lead a team where service, structure and presence are decisive.

About Norrlyst Koncernen

Norrlyst Koncernen stands behind some of Copenhagen's most notable restaurants and wine bars. Common to our places is an uncompromising approach to quality, strong hospitality and a desire to continually develop ourselves.

We believe that the best restaurants are created by people who take responsibility, build relationships and lift each other up. Therefore we work purposefully with leadership, culture and development – and we give space to those who want to make their mark.

As restaurant manager you will become a key person in the opening and will be responsible for creating the framework for a service experience that is as well thought out as the gastronomy.

The Role

You will become the daily manager of the restaurant and will have the overall responsibility for service, hospitality and front-of-house operations.

You must ensure that the guest experience hangs together from first contact to final farewell – and that the team works as one unit, where structure, overview and energy go hand in hand.

You are close to the operations, but also to the culture. You are visible on the floor, set direction for your team and create a working environment where professionalism and job satisfaction go hand in hand.

We imagine that you

  • Have experience as restaurant manager, maître d’, assistant restaurant manager or similar leadership role in an ambitious restaurant.
  • Are a strong leader who can create calm, structure and energy in service.
  • Have natural hospitality and are passionate about creating great guest experiences.
  • Work structured and have control of both operations, planning and staff management.
  • Thrive with responsibility and are motivated by building a team and a culture from the ground up.
  • Are clear, present and good at getting people to succeed together.

We offer

  • A central role in the opening of a new and ambitious restaurant project.
  • Significant influence on the development of service, structure and team.
  • A close collaboration with the head chef and management to create a cohesive guest experience.
  • The opportunity to shape the culture from day one.
  • Attractive salary and employment terms.
  • Staff benefits across Norrlyst Koncernen's restaurants and wine bars.

If you are motivated by hospitality, leadership and the ambition to create a restaurant experience at a high level, we look forward to hearing from you.
