We host guests from all over the world who expect iconic London quality with 5-star service. The Role We are looking for a hands-on Duty Manager to own the floor. You will not just “supervise” – you will manage the daily chaos and elegance of all three operations (Dining, Takeaway, Bar). You will be responsible for the staff rota, food quality, health & safety, and ensuring every guest leaves happy. You will manage Front of House (waiters/runners), Takeaway staff, and Kitchen staff – bridging the gap between the fryers and the customers. Key Responsibilities 1. Operations & Daily Checks · Manage daily opening/closing procedures, including all daily paperwork and checklists. · Conduct daily food quality checks (ensuring our fish & chips meet iconic standards before they leave the pass or counter). · Oversee both dining operations (table service, bar drinks) and takeaway operations (queue management, packing accuracy, speed). 2. Team & Rota Management · Create and manage the weekly staff rota for FOH, Takeaway, and Kitchen staff to control labour costs while avoiding burnout. · Supervise, coach, and discipline waiting staff, takeaway staff, and kitchen staff. · Ensure the kitchen team is supported with clear communication on wait times and 86’d items. 3. Health & Safety · Own Health & Safety compliance (HACCP, fire safety, first aid). · Ensure all daily cleaning schedules are signed off by the kitchen and front of house. 4. Guest Experience & “The 222 Connection” · (“The 222” – our standard for high-end guest interaction): Ensure every customer receives a warm welcome, efficient service, and a personal farewell. · Handle customer complaints professionally and turn issues into repeat business. · Maintain high standards for the VIP guests and regulars who expect perfection. 5. Stock & Financial Awareness · Assist with stock takes and reduce wastage. · Ensure the bar and takeaway counters are fully stocked for service. What We Are Looking For Essential: · Previous Duty Manager or Shift Leader experience in a high-volume restaurant (fast-casual or premium casual dining). · Experience managing both FOH and kitchen staff (you are not scared to speak to the fryers). · Knowledge of UK Health & Safety and food hygiene regulations. · Ability to handle the split focus between sit-down dining and fast-paced takeaway. · Organised – you can write a rota, complete daily paperwork, and jump on the fryer or till simultaneously. Personal Attributes: · A “hands-on” leader – you will be polishing cutlery, wiping tables, and packing takeaway boxes. · Calm under pressure (Friday night rush at an iconic London spot is not for the faint-hearted). · Obsessed with food quality – you will send back anything that isn’t perfect. Benefits · Pay: £17 per hour (approx. £33k-£40k FTE). · Staff meal on shift. · 28 days holiday (including bank holidays). · Opportunity to grow with an iconic London brand. · Tips/service charge shared across the team.
