About you

At least 2 years in hospitality management, including leading other managers or supervisors in a high-volume venue

Strong beverage knowledge across cocktails, beer, wine and spirits, with experience in bar ordering and stocktake

You know your numbers and have run a venue or section to a labour budget

You deal with problems yourself instead of passing them up

Calm under pressure, organised, and direct with your team

Current RSA, or able to get one before you start

What we offer

A senior role with real ownership in a venue that’s growing
