Job description

The Beefy Boys is a fun, fast-paced, growing burger restaurant group, striving to provide the best burger in the world! We’ve spent years researching burgers, their origins, and their cooking processes, so to us, there’s no such thing as “just a cheeseburger.”

But, we don't just care about the burgers – we care about the drinks too. Whether it’s a perfectly crafted cocktail to pair with our world-class patties or an ice-cold beer to wash it all down, we know a great meal isn't complete without the right drink. That’s where you come in.

We are looking for a Bar Manager who has plenty of enthusiasm for running a busy bar and creating memorable experiences for our guests, even when the grease hits the fan!

Responsibilities:

• Menu Mastery: You’ll be the ultimate drink guru – we’re not just slinging drinks, we’re serving up experiences that’ll blow minds. Whether it’s a classic cocktail or one of our killer creations, every drink you serve has to be a 10/10. You’ll know the menu inside and out and make sure each sip is pure perfection!
• Team leadership: You’ll lead a talented bar team, making sure the drinks are flowing smoothly and our service is as fast as our patties are flipping.
• Customer experience: Ensure that every guest has an unforgettable time, whether they’re in for a casual pint or a celebratory cocktail.
• Stock Management & Site GP Oversight: You’ll ensure the bar is always fully stocked with everything we need, plus those secret ingredients that keep our cocktails fresh and exciting. You’ll also lead monthly audits to keep track of stock levels and ensure we’re hitting site GP targets, maximizing efficiency while keeping things running smoothly.
• Training & Development: Share your bar expertise and make sure the team’s skills are top-notch, always with a focus on creating the best drinks in town.
• Health & Safety: Maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety, making sure our bar is always ready for the next rush.
• Problem solving: When things get hectic (because they will), you’ll keep your cool and find quick solutions with a smile and a cocktail shaker in hand.

If you're ready to bring your A-game and work with a team that's as passionate about drinks as we are about burgers, then we want to hear from you!

What You’ll Get:

• Quarterly Bonus: Treat yourself to something special with a little extra cash in your pocket every quarter.
• Free Food on Every Shift: Fill up on delicious, mouthwatering food – because who doesn't love a free burger?
• Career Progression: The sky's the limit! There’s always room to grow and climb the career ladder with us.
• Discounted Dinner: Impress your friends by bringing them along for a discounted meal – because great food is even better shared.
• Annual Staff Summer Festival: Let loose and party hard with the team at our legendary staff summer bash.
• Staff Away Days: Get ready for fun-filled adventures and team-building days that are anything but boring!
• 28 Days Paid Holiday: Take a break when you need it and enjoy 28 days of paid holiday to recharge.
• Pension Contributions: Rest easy knowing you're set for the future with company pension contributions.
