What You’ll Do

• Lead from the front during busy shifts, helping the team deliver great service and keep everything running smoothly
• Support the management team with the day-to-day operation of the lounge, from opening and closing tasks to keeping standards high across the floor
• Help coach, guide and motivate the team, making sure everyone knows their role and feels confident during service
• Keep a close eye on the detail, including cleanliness, presentation, food safety, allergens and cash handling processes
• Step in to handle customer queries or complaints confidently, always aiming to turn a good visit into a great one

What We're Looking For

• Someone who leads by example on the floor and sets the pace for the team around them
• A natural host who helps create the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes Sorbo Loungefeel like a home from home
• Community-minded — you get to know your regulars, your neighbours, and what makes Stroud tick
