The role
Our Assistant Manager will support our GM in the day to day running of all operations in our original Clapton restaurant.
This is an exciting time for this site as we have recently launched our Guest Chef series and we’re working to create a more varied events program, so an interest events would be great. You would also be part of curating the seasonal cocktail and wine list, wine of the month, cocktail of the week etc. so some bar experience would also be good.
A key part of the role will be managing the team. You will support the GM with hiring, training and managing the team, noticing when extra training is needed and finding interesting ways of engaging the team with their development as well as building a strong team and positive work environment.
Whilst we aim for our service to be bustling and efficient, with lots of different plates hitting the table quickly, it will be important to balance this with a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere. We’d like you to be a face that regulars recognise and feel welcomed by, whilst at the same time ensuring that the service is on point from all members of the team.
Alongside the GM you will be responsible for the revenue in the site and maximising the potential revenue from the cocktail bar, the bookings/ walk-ins as well as events.
What are we looking for?
The service is generally busy and fast paced, with baskets of steaming dumplings hitting the tables within a few minutes, so we’re looking for an enthusiastic hands on manager who enjoys this fast paced atmosphere and works well under pressure, whilst remaining calm and organised.
We value people with a strong work ethic and passion for freshly made food and quality drinks and we’re looking for someone who really cares about the food, drink and service they and their team deliver.
We are a small company and you would be working directly with the founders, so we would like to take on someone who would enjoy being a part of the decision making process, show initiative and get stuck in with their ideas
