You will work directly with Nico on the stuff that makes a business actually function: compliance, ordering, rotas, paperwork. The unglamorous bits. The bits that matter.

You do not let things slip through the cracks and you do not need reminding twice – A natural host — you genuinely enjoy people, and it shows – Calm under pressure. Saturday at 9pm should make you sharper, not slower – Proactive. If something needs doing, you do it. If something is wrong, you say so – Honest and reliable. Small team, high trust. That is the deal. – Comfortable with admin and paperwork — it is not glamorous, but neither is a compliance fail Useful but not required – Personal Licence holder – Experience with SevenRooms, TheFork/EatClub or Square POS – Any genuine interest in Japanese food and drink culture – Food Safety Level 2 or above WHAT WE OFFER A real leadership role in a venue with a real identity. You will have a direct relationship with the owner, genuine input into how the venue runs, and room to grow as the business does. – £30,000+ per annum, dependent on experience – Plus tronc – Direct access to Nico — decisions get made, not deferred – A team with more personality than most bars in London have combined – A venue with an identity worth protecting — and a community growing around it – Room to develop as we do
