- Support rostering and shift coordination (breaks, coverage, peak-time planning)
- Work closely with management and kitchen to keep service running smoothly
- Maintain venue presentation across bar areas (including end-of-shift cleaning and checklists)
- Assist with functions/events service and team coordination when required
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience as a Bar Supervisor / Team Leader (or strong senior bartender ready to step up)
- Strong cocktail knowledge and ability to execute consistently under pressure
- Confident leadership style — calm, fair, and firm when needed
- Great communication and team coordination skills
- Strong problem-solving and customer service instincts
- High standards for cleanliness, organisation, and process
- Availability to work nights and weekends (peak trade)
