Cafe Manager

Location: Farringdon, London
Position: Full-Time | Up to £35,496 per annum

Are you a passionate and experienced café professional ready to lead a premium, coffee-focused outlet in one of London's leading corporate Head Office’s? We’re on the lookout for an energetic and detail-driven Cafe Manager to head up our coffee-led café, offering exceptional barista-crafted drinks and a carefully curated artisan food menu.

About the Role:

This is not your average café manager position. You’ll be at the heart of a stylish, barista-focused café serving the head office of a major organisation. You'll be the face of the café, ensuring consistency, creativity, and community in everything from the morning flat whites to the lunchtime sourdough toasties.

At Eurest, we are the experts in workplace catering, operating in over 700 workspaces every day. We know that fuelling employees throughout the day can help to sharpen their thinking, nourish their bodies and minds and ultimately, motivate them to perform at their best. Our workplace food experiences are driven by our promise to live more sustainably and responsibly, working towards our goal of net zero by 2030.

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.
• Build strong relationships with clients and customers, gathering feedback to enhance service.

About You:

• Barista trained with hands-on experience managing a high-volume, specialty coffee environment
• Passionate about delivering outstanding customer service and leading from the front
• Able to thrive in a professional, fast-paced setting while maintaining a calm and friendly energy
