About the Venue
The owner has built something the whole neighbourhood loves. What he wants now is one person on the floor who will run it the way it deserves to be run, so he can trust that every service goes the way it should whether he’s in the building or not.
The venue is one of those local places that’s busy from the moment the doors open. Regulars who come in most days and know the team by name, a takeaway trade that never really stops, food people genuinely talk about and a room that’s been designed with real care. It’s the kind of place guests feel part of, not just visit.
This is the job of taking a great venue and making it consistently brilliant.
Who this suits
Someone who walks onto a floor and reads it in seconds.
The kind of manager who sees the table waiting to order before they’ve looked up, who notices the team member stuck in a section and steps in beside them, and who can’t walk past four tables that need clearing to pick up one empty glass. You know that great service isn’t luck. It’s standards, sequence and a team that’s been shown how.
You train in service, not in a back office. You stand next to someone for half an hour in the middle of the rush, show them how to work a section properly, and watch it click. That’s how you build a team, and you get real satisfaction from it.
What you’d own
The floor and everything that happens on it. The shift brief that sets the tone, the pace of service,



the guest who needs looking after when something goes wrong, and the standard the whole team works to.
The people. Coaching and developing your 2ICs, recognising great work when you see it, and pulling standards back up the same day they slip. The owner was clear that this role is about upskilling everyone, and he means it.
The venue itself. How it looks when the doors open, how it holds up through a busy service and how it’s left at close. There’s admin, rosters and reporting too, but it fits around the floor, never the other way round.
Who you’d be working with
An owner who looks after his people, and it shows. Key staff stay for years. He has another business that keeps him busy, so you’ll have genuine autonomy and the trust to make your own calls, with someone in your corner who backs good ideas. You’ll also have a solid leadership team around you and a kitchen that’s settled and strong.
