At The Genuine Dining Company, we believe that great food brings people together — and so should great workplaces. We are a people-first catering business, passionate about delivering fresh, seasonal, and innovative food experiences across our restaurants, cafés, and retail spaces. Our success comes from our genuine approach to service, our commitment to sustainability, and the personality and passion of our teams. Every member of our team plays an important role in creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere and making sure every customer leaves with a smile.

We are partnering with a globally recognised leader in elite motorsport. As our client competes in their inaugural season in Formula 1, we are proud to support the opening of their brand-new UK headquarters—a cutting-edge facility designed to fuel performance at the highest level.

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performance environment at the very beginning of an exciting journey, working alongside a team driven by precision, innovation, and excellence.

The Opportunity

Lead from the front in an environment where precision, performance, and innovation are everything. Much like a Formula 1 team principal sets the direction for race success, you will define the culinary vision, build a high-performing brigade, and ensure every detail is executed flawlessly. This is your chance to shape a kitchen from the ground up in a setting where marginal gains make all the difference.
