We’re looking for someone who
Has previous Bar Manager, Bar Supervisor or senior bartender experience, preferably in a busy restaurant or hospitality environment.
You must be confident making cocktails and mixed drinks, understand wine and spirits, know how to make good coffee and be capable of managing suppliers, stock and staff.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who can take ownership of the bar, lead from the front and keep it running efficiently during high-volume service.
Why join us?
Because we’re a brand-new restaurant, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape the bar from the beginning — including our cocktail selection, Italian wine offering, beverage range, suppliers and operating procedures.
We’re looking for someone who wants more than just another bar job. We want a Bar Manager who can grow with the business and make the bar their own.
