IlLido Group Hiring! Full Time Restaurant General Manager in - Ricebowl

GENERAL MANAGER | SOSPIRI

Singapore | ilLido Group

Great hospitality is instinctive. Great leadership is intentional.

Sospiri, part of the established ilLido Group, is seeking an accomplished General Manager to lead its Southern Italian restaurant and rooftop bar in the heart of Singapore.

We are looking for a hospitality professional with international experience, a proven track record, and a genuine affinity for Italian culture, cuisine, and the art of hospitality.

Sospiri is a dynamic, high-energy operation, combining refined dining, busy restaurant services, private dining, and large-scale events. It requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, thinks on their feet, and remains composed when the unexpected happens.

We value resourcefulness over rigid thinking, initiative over instructions, and solutions over excuses.

Who we're looking for

• A seasoned hospitality professional with a proven track record in premium Italian dining establishments.
• A strong connection to Italian hospitality, its traditions, service philosophy, food and wine culture. Fluency in Italian and firsthand experience within Italy's hospitality industry would be particularly valued.
• Broad international exposure, ideally complemented by experience within prestigious hotels or internationally recognised restaurant groups.
• Extensive experience managing high-volume restaurant services, large-scale events, and demanding operational environments, without compromising hospitality standards.
• Strong wine knowledge, with the confidence to engage guests.
• A confident, decisive leader who earns respect through competence, integrity, and example rather than authority or hierarchy.
• Someone resourceful, adaptable, commercially astute, and capable of navigating complex situations independently.
• A hands-on operator who is equally comfortable engaging with guests, supporting the team on the floor, and managing the commercial aspects of the business.
• A professional with the character to make difficult decisions, take accountability, and remain calm and effective under pressure.

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to take the helm of an established and successful restaurant within one of Singapore's recognised hospitality groups.

Sospiri has built a strong identity, reputation, and operational foundation. We are looking for someone who recognises the value of what has already been achieved, has the discipline to preserve and strengthen what works, and the vision to identify meaningful opportunities for further growth.

The right candidate will lead a dynamic team, maintain consistently high standards, drive commercial performance, and build upon the restaurant's existing success.

We offer an environment that values individuality, professional maturity, accountability, and leadership that inspires confidence rather than demands obedience.

Remuneration & benefits

• Monthly salary: S$7,000–S$8,500, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
• Additional bonuses and incentives.
• Career development opportunities within an established hospitality group.
• The opportunity to lead a distinctive, high-profile restaurant in Singapore.

If your career has been shaped by authentic Italian hospitality, international experience, and a determination to lead from the front, we would like to hear from you.
