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.

    Full-time
    London

    About the role We are building a new kind of hospitality space in Hackney. A curated kitchen and bar programme where chefs, bartenders and collaborators take over the space for short residencies, events and experiences. The concept is designed to constantly evolve, with a changing calendar of pop ups, dinners, tastings, private hires and social events. We are looking for a full-time Manager to help bring this space to life day to day. This is not a traditional restaurant management role. We need someone who is equally comfortable running service, managing a bar, coordinating events, hosting guests and helping shape a fast-moving programme. The right person will love hospitality, have strong operational instincts, and be excited by the idea of working in a venue where things are always changing. This role will be central to the identity of the space. Over time, we want guests to come back not only because of the residencies and events we programme, but because of the team, the atmosphere and the experience we create every week. About the space The venue is an intimate, industrial kitchen and bar in Mare Street, with a large open kitchen and counter seating at its heart. It is designed as a platform for rotating chefs, drinks-led experiences and social hospitality. The space is curated and operated by us. While the concepts may change, the guest experience, standards and overall feel of the venue remain consistent. The Manager will play a key role in protecting that consistency while helping the programme feel fresh, exciting and well executed. What you’ll be responsible for Programming and coordination • Manage the operational logistics of each residency, event or takeover from set-up to breakdown, • Coordinate arrivals, check-ins, handovers and transitions between guest chefs or collaborators, • Support the execution of the venue calendar and ensure each event is properly prepared, • Work closely with founders and collaborators to make sure concepts are launch-ready, • Help spot operational risks early and solve problems before they affect service Venue and bar operations • Oversee the day-to-day running of the venue and ensure the space is consistently set up to a high standard, • Develop, manage and continuously improve the drinks offering of the space, • Oversee bar operations, stock ordering, supplier coordination and inventory management, • Lead service during event and residency nights, setting the tone for the floor and ensuring strong execution throughout, • Take ownership of team leadership on shift, creating clear communication, strong standards and a positive service culture, • Help build and shape a small but high-performing team around the space as it grows, • Create a strong team culture centred around hospitality, accountability and adaptability, • Maintain high standards of cleanliness, readiness and compliance across the venue Guest experience and commercial delivery • Manage reservations and set up events in booking systems, • Handle private hire enquiries and support conversion where relevant, • Act as host on the floor, helping create a warm, confident and memorable guest experience, • Ensure consistency in service and atmosphere across very different concepts and residencies, • Support post-event reviews by helping assess performance, guest feedback and operational learnings Sales and cost performance • Take ownership of the venue’s day-to-day commercial performance, • Help drive sales during events through strong floor leadership, upselling and service flow, • Manage labour deployment in line with expected demand and venue targets, • Monitor stock usage, wastage and ordering to maintain tight cost control, • Track performance across sales, labour and gross margin, and flag opportunities for improvement, • Support post-event reviews with a clear view on what performed well commercially and operationally Marketing and content coordination • Coordinate photoshoots and content capture around key events and launches, • Support social media, newsletters and website updates, either directly or in coordination with external support, • Help bring ideas for events, collaborations and guest engagement, • Contribute creatively to how the space is presented and experienced What we’re looking for We are looking for someone with a mix of bar, service and events experience, who is excited by the idea of helping build something new. You likely have: • Experience managing services in a hospitality venue, • Experience managing or running a bar, • Experience coordinating or delivering events, private hires, pop ups or activations, • Confidence leading a team and running a floor, • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, • Good commercial instincts and an understanding of how service quality drives repeat business, • A calm, solutions-focused approach in a fast-paced environment We think you’ll thrive if you are: • Energised by a constantly evolving environment, • Comfortable switching between planning, service and admin, • A strong host who genuinely enjoys people, • Interested in food, drinks and hospitality culture, • Full of ideas and excited to contribute creatively, • Able to maintain consistency even when the concept changes week to week, • Motivated by building a venue with real personality and community around it Ideal profile This role could suit someone who has worked as: • a Bar Manager looking for broader ownership, • an Events Manager with strong hospitality operations experience, • a Venue Manager from an independent restaurant, wine bar or creative hospitality concept, • an Assistant General Manager ready to step into a more entrepreneurial and varied role Other details • Full-time role based in Mare Street, East London, • Evening and weekend availability required, • Salary dependent on experience, • Opportunity to help shape a new hospitality concept from the ground up, • Target start date: April 28th About us We’re the team behind Crudo and Tiny Wine, two independent hospitality concepts we’ve built in London over the past few years. Crudo opened in 2019 and has grown into a group of restaurants built around modern Latin American food, strong atmosphere and warm, energetic service. Tiny Wine came out of our love for smaller, more intimate drinking spaces, with a big focus on personality, curation and creating a place people genuinely want to spend time in. A big part of what we’ve learnt through both brands is that people come back for more than just the food or drinks. They come back for the feeling of the place, the team behind it, and the sense that something thoughtful is being built. Studio 3 is the next step in that. It gives us the opportunity to create a more flexible space built around a changing programme of chefs, drinks, events and collaborations. A space that can evolve constantly, while still being run with a clear point of view and strong operational standards. We’re excited by the idea of building something that feels social, current and full of life. Somewhere guests want to return to regularly, and somewhere chefs and collaborators are genuinely excited to be part of.

    London

    General Manager Pop-Up Location: Shoreditch, London Company: Junkies Employment Type: Full-Time About Junkies Junkies hits different. We're a pastry business, but not as you know it. With a fast-paced, design-led concept built around indulgence, precision, and experience, we are not trying to replicate traditional hospitality we are building something sharper, and operationally disciplined behind the scenes. Our success depends as much on smart execution as it does on strong commercial traction. This will be our first standalone site and sets the operational and commercial precedent for everything that follows. Our upcoming Shoreditch pop-up is a 3 month performance phase. Its objective is clear: The site must be operating at or above site-level breakeven on a consistent basis with systems that allow the business to operate without regular founder involvement. The Product & Model Junkies is a mono-product operation. One SKU. One price. All day. That simplicity is intentional it reduces complexity, tightens training, and makes the operation highly measurable. But it also raises the performance bar: with a single product, outcomes are driven by execution quality and operational control. There’s nowhere to hide behind menu variety. The commercial and operational levers are clear: • Throughput and queue conversion during peak windows, • Production planning to protect freshness while minimising waste, • Labour deployment matched tightly to demand by hour, • Quality consistency at speed every unit to standard, every time, • Operational flow designed for repeatability, not heroics This model rewards operators who can run a clean, disciplined system: tight prep, tight handoffs, tight reporting and who understand that growth only matters if it improves contribution. The Role This role is focused on making the Shoreditch pop-up economically successful within three months. You will own site-level contribution not just revenue. That means taking responsibility for revenue performance, labour efficiency, waste control, throughput, and operational clarity. You must be commercially sharp enough to grow revenue intelligently, but disciplined enough to prioritise what improves contribution rather than just top-line sales. This is not a role for someone who simply follows established playbooks you will be expected to refine, build, and implement better ways of operating as we scale. This is not a lifestyle store manager role. This is a performance mandate. What Success Looks Like (By End of Month 3) • The site is operating above breakeven, covering all fixed costs, • Labour and waste are controlled within agreed targets, • Peak-hour throughput is optimised, • The business runs without regular founder input, • Clear systems and reporting are in place, • Growth initiatives improve overall contribution not just activity, • Clear weekly reporting of revenue, labour %, waste %, and contribution It is our intention that the pop-up phase leads directly into our own store, but this is based on meeting defined financial and operational objectives. Core Responsibilities1. Economic Ownership (Primary Focus) • Own weekly site-level P&L, • Monitor and manage contribution, not just revenue, • Own and oversee local marketing and sampling campaigns, structured and measured against contribution impact, • Align labour scheduling to hourly demand patterns, • Control waste through disciplined production planning, • Improve revenue per labour hour, • Optimise peak trading windows 2. Operational Discipline • Translate brand standards into practical, repeatable ways of working, • Maintain consistent product quality and service execution, • Responsible for timely re-ordering of ingredients and materials, • Build and document simple, repeatable SOPs, • Identify friction and remove it quickly, • Ensure operational resilience when founders are not present, • Keep systems lean and scalable 3. Commercial Intelligence • Increase revenue without destabilising cost structure, • Improve AOV and conversion through structured experimentation, • Evaluate new channels (wholesale, B2B, collaborations) through a contribution lens, • Prioritise initiatives that strengthen the core site before expanding complexity You understand that revenue growth only matters if it improves contribution. 4. Team Leadership • Lead, coach, and structure the team to deliver fast, accurate, high-energy service, • Set clear performance standards, • Develop accountability and clarity in scheduling, • Commercially rigorous you think in contribution, not just sales, • Comfortable working autonomously and taking full ownership of outcomes, • A builder as much as an operator; you improve and create systems rather than just maintain them, • Analytical comfortable being measured against financial targets, • Structured under pressure you respond with data, not reaction, • Solution-oriented you present options, not just problems, • Disciplined in prioritisation you don’t chase growth for its own sake, • Motivated by developing relationships and channels that strengthen site contribution, • Reporting by default you provide clear, concise summaries of relevant business metrics You likely have experience in retail, hospitality, or food environments where margins matter and throughput is critical. Experience • Experience developing commercial accounts, partnerships, or local business channels is highly valued, • Demonstrated ability to improve processes and implement structure in growing environments, • Strong organisational and analytical skills with understanding of how operations drive financial results, • A high-accountability operational leadership position, • A commercially driven site management role, • A chance to shape how Junkies operates as it scales, • A pure sales position, • A passive store manager role, • A high-cadence event marketing job We reward contribution and operational excellence. How to Apply Send your CV and a short note explaining: • A time you improved contribution, not just revenue, • A time you identified and fixed operational leakage, • How you prioritise growth vs discipline
