• Respond to guest queries professionally, and with a guest‑first mindset.
• Support restaurant teams during meal services.
• Manage rota planning with awareness of peaks and labour costs.
• Help plan bar promotions to elevate guest experience and increase sales.
• Act as a club keyholder when required, including closing responsibilities.

• A natural hands‑on leader who enjoys developing a team.
• Calm under pressure and proactive in a fast‑paced environment.
• Creative, with a flair for cocktail development.
