Restaurant & Café Manager

Location: Hargeisa, Republic of Somaliland

Employment Type: Full-time (2-year contract, renewable) — On-site, Live-in (staff accommodation provided)

Salary: Monthly Salary (plus accommodation, meals on duty, flights, visa/work permit, and medical cover)

Application Deadline: 30th September 2026

About the Role

Our client, a new multi-cuisine café and restaurant opening in Hargeisa (Italian, Indian, Chinese cuisine plus a coffee and juice bar), is seeking an experienced and hands-on Restaurant & Café Manager to lead day-to-day operations from launch.

The manager will hold full P&L responsibility, oversee cash and stock controls, supervise front-of-house staff, and lead the pre-opening setup of a new multi-cuisine outlet. This role offers the opportunity to build and run a new hospitality operation from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage full day-to-day operations of a new multi-cuisine restaurant and café.
  • Hold full P&L responsibility: daily sales reporting, cash control, F&B cost control, supplier ordering, and stock counts.
  • Directly supervise a locally recruited cashier and front-of-house staff.
  • Train the cashier and reconcile daily cash against POS reports.
  • Maintain cash-handling controls and set service standards.
  • Prepare staff rosters and handle guest complaints.
  • Lead pre-opening activities: checklists, SOPs, and menu launch.
  • Operate and maintain competence in POS systems and Excel.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Minimum 5 years' experience in restaurant/café management.
  • At least 2 years as manager of a multi-cuisine restaurant or coffee house with 15+ staff.
  • Full P&L, cash control, and supplier management experience.
  • Competent in POS systems and Excel.
  • Fluent English.
  • Diploma in Hospitality/Hotel Management (Kenya Utalii College or equivalent) is an added advantage.
  • New-outlet opening experience (pre-opening checklists, SOPs, menu launches) is an added advantage.

Key Competencies

  • Operations and P&L management
  • Cash control and reporting
  • Staff supervision and training
  • Guest relations and complaint handling
  • Roster planning
  • Pre-opening/launch coordination
  • POS and Excel proficiency
  • Multi-cuisine F&B knowledge
  • Leadership and accountability

Who Will Excel in This Role?

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has run the floor of a busy, multi-cuisine restaurant and knows what a well-managed shift looks like.
  • Is comfortable owning numbers — sales, costs, cash — daily and being accountable for them.
  • Can build systems and train a new team from scratch in a pre-opening environment.
  • Handles guest complaints calmly and professionally.
  • Is ready to relocate and live on-site in Hargeisa for a 2-year assignment.

Candidates must submit: CV with photo, academic/professional certificates, food safety/hygiene certificate, passport copy (minimum 18 months' validity), Certificate of Good Conduct, and two employer references with contact details.

Practical assessment: candidates will be asked to submit a 7-day pre-opening plan and a sample daily sales and cost report.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
