Restaurant Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Restaurant Manager will oversee daily restaurant operations, service quality, guest satisfaction, staffing, training, scheduling, stock control, hygiene, and financial performance. Candidates are generally expected to have hospitality or restaurant management experience, strong leadership and communication skills, and a sound understanding of food and beverage operations. Experience in an upscale hotel, resort, or international hospitality brand is preferred. The role requires a guest-focused attitude, commercial awareness, problem-solving ability, and confidence managing multicultural teams. Flexibility is important because the position may involve shift work, weekends, public holidays, and seasonal resort demands. Knowledge of food safety standards and proficiency in English are typically required; additional languages and experience with hotel systems are advantageous.
Can I work in Bahrain?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: The employer applies to the Labour Market Regulatory Authority and pays; the vacancy goes to Bahrainis first (reported March 2026: a 7-day advert, then 21 days).
Watch for: You cannot work on a visit visa; the permit is issued before you fly. Employers below their Bahraini-staff target paid extra permit fees from 2017; not confirmed for 2026.
Official source: Labour Market Regulatory Authority: notice on work permits for expatriate workers (12 October 2022). Checked November 2026.
