F&B Team Member Part Time

Full-time

Manchester

We are looking for a F&B Team member to join Whitworth Locke, Manchester. Our desire to inspire soulful hospitality is taking us on a journey of evolution and growth, making our presence felt in major cities across the UK and Europe. We entrust our vision, purpose and brand to the hands of our teams. It’s a big responsibility and this is why we seek and develop unique individuals to lead the charge. In an (overly simplistic) nutshell our Team members are; Confident, warm and effervescent individuals, focussed on curating an experience that each one of our guests desires from the moment they step over our threshold Endlessly curious – reading our guests and adapting approaches to suit the individual and not the masses What you'll be doing... Welcome guests with a warm smile and attentive service, making their experience enjoyable from start to finish. Take and process food and drink orders accurately, ensuring special requests are noted and fulfilled. Serve food and drinks with care, keeping presentation standards high and timing smooth. Set up, clean, and reset tables and service areas, maintaining an inviting and well-organised dining space. Prepare and serve a variety of beverages, including basic barista duties and refreshing non-alcoholic drinks. Keep the dining area stocked by assisting with inventory and restocking supplies. Uphold hygiene and health and safety standards, ensuring a spotless and compliant workspace. Work closely with kitchen and bar teams to deliver a seamless service, supporting each other for a smooth operation. But most importantly they are humans like us. We don’t believe in a work persona, we avoid hierarchy and we connect with empathy and honesty. Our House Hosts don’t shy away from the fundamentals either; they embrace our systems and tech and they are eager to learn and evolve. When guests return home inspired, with stories to tell and discoveries to share, you will have been successful. They will come back more often and tell others. This will be the tale of Locke. In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), a host of wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan, Life Assurance, Long Term Income Protection, an Employee Assistance Programme…), free nights in our properties, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way), company sick pay and further benefits tailored to your individual needs. But most importantly, we offer you a role in our story and the chance to write your own chapter. When and Where? We believe in working flexibly – this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility. Ask your recruiting manager or see our careers page for more information. Set in a 19th Century cotton factory, every area – from the beautiful Conservatory Bar to the spacious co-working lounge – celebrates the building’s quirks and features. There’s also a packed calendar of events, pop-ups and fitness classes for you to join in with, if you fancy. And if you’re heading out, you’re just minutes from the city’s best bars, shops and nightlife. Settle in, and see Manchester differently. About edyn Our vision is to create sanctuaries across European cities, which provide a sense of belonging to the free-thinking urbanite in all of us. Each of our brands – Locke, SACO and Cove – is firmly rooted in the local neighbourhood, offering vibrant experiences and connections which nourish and enliven the soul.
