The Role

• Lead the day-to-day operation of the café, ensuring consistently excellent service standards
• Recruit, train, motivate and develop a high-performing team
• Manage staff rotas and labour scheduling
• Maintain exceptional standards of food quality, presentation and cleanliness
• Ensure full compliance with food safety, health & safety and company procedures
• Manage stock levels, supplier orders and cost control
• Lead from the front during busy service periods and large-scale event days
• Work closely with venue management teams to plan and deliver seamless service during conferences and exhibitions

About You

• Proven management experience within a café, contract xwzovoh catering or high-volume hospitality environment
• A confident and inspirational leader with strong people management skills
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Commercially aware with experience managing stock and labour costs
• Passionate about great food, quality coffee and outstanding customer service
• Able to remain calm, focused and proactive during busy service periods
• A hands-on manager who enjoys being part of the action

If you are an ambitious Café Manager looking for your next challenge in a vibrant, fast-paced venue, we'd love to hear from you.
