As a Supervisor at ...At Sloane, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring an exceptional dining experience for our guests with your focus being not only your section, but passionate knowledge of French Wines, our menus, and dining out. You will also be responsible for maintaining daily operations such as opening and closing, cash up, reporting, and operational organisation.
We are a unique property, blending a service style of gastro precision with dining room warmth, and Parisian glamour. Our menu has existed for 25 years, delivering precise dishes that cannot be found outside of us in London. This iconic menu comes from Hotel Costes in Paris, meaning we have a legacy to uphold. It is this unique legacy that draws people to us, requiring irreproachable standards, so we are strict on set up, service, intervention on a table, and guest relations.
As is the case for our Head Waiters/Waitresses, our Supervisors must have an irreproachable, elevated service style, excellent wine and food knowledge, and ability to sell. Strict sommelier service is not our style. Our wine-list is French focused, so a real passion for French wine is a must, without the fluff. Honest knowledge, care, and attention when describing and serving wine, but without fanfare or dramatics.
What sets our Supervisors apart from our Head Waiters/Waitresses is their operational duties. As a supervisor you will thrive amidst service, while keeping an eye on BOH and FOH standards. You will be trained in and have a deep knowledge of what makes our property unique, and ensure the team follow. You will also undertake tasks such as daily briefings, stock-count, rota updates, and cash-up.
You will collaborate closely with our Restaurant Manager and fellow Supervisors, as well as the rest of the team to enhance guest satisfaction and foster a culture of continuous improvement. In this role you will work hard to become part of something truly unlike anywhere else in London, and develop yourself into a master of all things hospitality.

Actively participate in departmental meetings and team briefings, offering support and guidance to team members when needed to achieve collective objectives.

What are we looking for?
Minimum 1 year of experience in a similar role within a luxury dining room/property.
Someone who is not afraid of a quiet service, where focus and commitment must still be maintained.
Excellent knowledge of cocktails, spirits, wines and champagne. Strong French wine knowledge with an ability to treat our wines with care, but not fuss. A desire to learn more about the wines on our list is a must.
Someone who feels at home on the dining room floor—personable, gracious, and always guest-first.
Excellent knowledge of food with a high aptitude to learning and describing dishes with flair to both guests and team members.
Strong upselling skills and ability to tailor service to differing guests' needs.
Someone who stays informed about new trends, fashions, art, and culture.
Ability to speak and write French is desirable but not essential.
Self-starter with creativity, high drive, and result-oriented approach.
Strong work ethic and ability to handle tasks under pressure and meet deadlines.
Strong leadership skills to motivate the team and maintain a high level of service.
Calm under pressure, exceptionally detail-oriented, and always aiming higher.
Availability to work flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Who are we?
We are a 5-star luxury lifestyle boutique hotel located in the heart of Chelsea, housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century building beside Sloane Square station. The hotel features a rooftop restaurant, an intimate cocktail bar, and thirty thoughtfully designed bedrooms.
Blending the heritage of the Cadogan Estate with a refined French sensibility, the hotel offers a private, elegant, and characterful environment. Independently run, we seek passionate individuals who take pride in their craft and are motivated to contribute to something special.
Our people are ambassadors of the property — trusted to bring personality, precision, and pride to everything they do, while delivering a level of service that is warm, confident, and quietly exceptional. xwzovoh
