We are thrilled to announce that joining Peter Avis FIH on stage will be none other than Cyrus Todiwala OBE DL FIH, Chef & Owner, Café Spice Namaste & Mr Todiwala’s Kitchen, and his wife Pervin Todiwala, Operations Director & Owner, Café Spice Namaste for what we are sure will be a fantastic conversation!
Cyrus said: “Personally, I am so pleased that The Restaurant Manager of the Year competition has returned. Managing a restaurant is no joke and whoever manages the floor is like an orchestra conductor, making sure all the elements come together smoothly. As a chef, my domain is the kitchen but as a restaurateur I know nothing would work without the skills, knowledge and of course charisma of the restaurant manager. This competition gives much deserved recognition to an invaluable role. Best of luck to all the nominees who have made it this far.”
Pervin added: “I’ve worked front of house for over 25 years at Café Spice Namaste. Now that we’re starting over in a completely different location, Royal Albert Wharf in Docklands, a big part of my role is to make sure we can win the trust of new customers as well as provide assurance to our old ones by the way we welcome, serve and respond to them. When you’re working front of house, you not only have to read your customers but master the menu. You are also a salesperson.
The Restaurant Manager is the interface between the kitchen and the tables. If I and my team don’t get it right, no matter how good our food is, it won’t be the experience people expect. This is why recognising talent through the prestigious Restaurant Manager of the Year competition is so important. When service starts, the manager is in charge. You have to be on your toes and whip smart.”
