Born from two rich food cultures, Ru blends bold Indian flavours with exceptional Irish produce. Our menu is a modern interpretation of Indian cooking — vibrant, seasonal, and designed for sharing.

This is a chance to be part of something new from the ground up, supporting the management team, leading service on the floor, and helping to create an exceptional guest experience. If you’re ready to take the next step in your hospitality career and thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑energy environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Located on Ann Street and open daily for lunch and dinner, Ru will be the first to open amongst a number of adjoining venues, including a pub, cocktail bar and terrace, vinyl listening bar and club space in 2026.

What’s in it for you:

• Competitive rate of pay plus excellent share of service charge
• Up to 29 days holiday including Bank Holidays (pro rata) and your birthday off
• Health and wellbeing initiatives, including a free counselling programme
• Company discount offering 20% off food in various outlets including Bullitt Hotel, Little Wing Pizzeria, Ragin Ramen, The National and the Cloth Ear
• Structured learning and development plans through our online CPL training programme
• Varied training opportunities including NVQs, WSET, First Aid, Mental Health Awareness, etc.
• Team bonding events such as our summer BBQ, Winter Raffle, seasonal parties, trips, and award ceremonies

What you’ll do:

• Lead shifts on the floor, ensuring smooth and efficient service at all times
• Support, train and motivate the front‑of‑house team to deliver excellent service
• Act as a point of contact for guest queries and resolve issues professionally and confidently
• Assist with staff rotas, briefings and daily service preparation
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness, presentation and service throughout the restaurant
• Work closely with the kitchen team to ensure seamless co‑ordination
• Support management with stock control, opening and closing procedures

About you:

• Previous experience in a supervisory or senior front‑of‑house role
• A confident and approachable leader who leads by example
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• A passion for hospitality and delivering exceptional guest experiences
• Ability to stay calm under pressure and manage a busy service
• A proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and grow
• Flexible availability, including evenings and weekends

If you’re ready to take the next step and play a key role in an exciting new restaurant, we’d love to hear from you.
