Descrizione del lavoro

Kong in Shoreditch, London, is seeking a hands-on manager to lead a busy hospitality team in a fast-paced setting. You’ll supervise shifts, uphold standards and mentor 40-50 Kongers while ensuring guests receive warm, attentive service.

The role offers full-time work with a competitive £32K salary, monthly pay, and flexible shifts from early to late. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK and bring a proactive, team-first approach.

Competenze

• Around six months of work experience of any kind helps, but attitude matters more than your CV here.
• You're keen to learn about food, drink and the craft of looking after people - guests and teammates alike.
• You care about getting the details right: food delivered hot, to the right seat, with allergies always front of mind.
• You're a team player who keeps things moving - stations stocked, sauces and chopsticks ready, so nobody has to leave a guest to go hunting.

Mansioni

• Lead and grow a large team with humility and care.
• Protect our standards and pursue hospitality beyond the expected.
• Collaborate with fellow managers and Kongers to deliver best-in-class service.
• Manage busy nights with a proactive, hands-on approach.

• Proper paid holiday - the usual allowance, at your usual rate. And we close on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
• No costumes here. Our dress code is smart-casual - jackets and trainers are absolutely fine.

How we take care of our team

Growing from within

Financial

• Free weekly wage advances and emergency cash.
• Access to our savings support & financial health planning tool.
• A monthly allowance to eat at Kong the way a guest does.
• Whenever you're off duty, you and up to three guests get 50% off during the day and 25% off in the evening

Health and headspace

• Someone to talk to in confidence when life gets heavy.
• Maternity and paternity leave that treats a growing family as the good news it is.

Time together

• The whole house together through the year: a big New Year celebration and a summer festival.
Long service, properly marked. After four years with us, we take you from one Kong to the other: a trip to Hong Kong with our co-founder, Chef Andrew Wong
