Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the daily operation of a high-standard café with a focus on exceptional specialty coffee and fresh, artisan-style food
• Deliver a consistent, premium experience to a professional clientele in a busy office environment
• Train, support and inspire a small team of baristas and café staff
• Ensure operational excellence including stock control, compliance, and rotas
• Liaise with on-site facilities teams and leadership to meet evolving corporate needs
• Manage budgets, track financial performance, and identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality.
