Sky Bar Manager - 53rd Floor Piano Lounge

14 days ago

£16–£20 hourly

Full-time

Millwall, Tower Hamlets

London's highest piano lounge | 53rd floor, Wardian, Canary Wharf E14 Full-time | Tips and service charge | Immediate start Some bars have a view. This one has all of them 🌇🍸💫 Fifty-three floors up, the windows wrap the whole way round. Canary Wharf on one side, Greenwich on the other, and the full London skyline laid out in between. On the right evening the cloud sits below the glass and the room feels genuinely untethered from the city underneath it. That is where you'd be making drinks. The Observatory is London's highest piano & cocktail lounge. Live piano, a proper cocktail list, and a food menu built to be eaten slowly with friends. We opened just over a year ago and have spent that time turning it into something people are quietly protective of. We're now looking for a Bar Manager to take charge of the bar and carry that on. 🎹 THE VENUE The Observatory sits at the top of Wardian, exclusively for the residents of the two towers below it. Around 2,000 people have access, and a good number of them are in every week. That changes the job completely. You're not turning over strangers. You're building a room of regulars who know your name and expect you to know theirs, and who will tell you honestly what they think of the new menu. It has the warmth of a members' club without any of the stiffness. The bar itself is the centerpiece of the venue and deliberately so. That means the Bar Manager here spends most of their time exactly where they should be: behind the bar, making drinks, talking to guests, with an eye across the whole venue. This is not a role that disappears into an office. Live piano is weekly and our signature 'Piano Plates' are a tapas-style sharing menu designed to be picked at across a long evening with a cocktail in the other hand. Food runs seven days. 🥃 YOUR CRAFT, VALUED If you care about what goes in the glass, you'll be somewhere it counts. We want someone with genuine opinions about dilution, about garnish, about the difference between a drink that's technically correct and one that's actually good. You'll have real input into the list, work directly with suppliers, and build seasonal serves that sit properly alongside the food and the piano. The room gives you permission to be ambitious. Guests come here for an occasion, they're not in a rush, and they'll try what you recommend. That's a rare thing and it's wasted on someone who just wants to pour. 🚀 THE ROLE You'll run the bar. Standards, stock, ordering, prep, consistency. The cocktail quality is yours to own and yours to push. You'll lead a small team. A handful of people, hands-on, side by side. You'll set the standard by working to it rather than talking about it, and train the team properly as they come through. You'll host. Learning names, remembering orders, reading the room. The best nights here are the ones where the manager is visibly enjoying themselves. You'll support events. The Observatory hosts a steady calendar of private hires, birthdays, engagements, weddings and seasonal parties. To be clear: our events team handles the planning and the logistics. Your part is the drinks, the bar and the delivery on the night, plus being the familiar face residents come to first. Events experience is a bonus, not a barrier - if you've got the bartending and the hosting, we'll bring you up to speed on the rest. You'll help shape what's next. Menus, promotions, ideas for the room. We're a year in and still building. You'd be joining early enough for your fingerprints to be on it. --- 💥 WHAT WE OFFER • Sociable hours. We open at 4pm on weekdays, midday at weekends. No breakfast shifts, no split shifts, no 3am finishes., • Tips and service charge, • Real ownership of a venue with a genuine identity, not a site on a spreadsheet, • Input that goes somewhere. Menu development, supplier tastings, seasonal launches, • Room to progress. We're a growing London group - Beringers, Lockdown, Supershakes, The Eleventh Hour - and we promote from within wherever we can, • Staff food and drinks on shift, plus discounts across every venue, • The backing of an experienced events and senior management team, • Immediate start available 🔥 WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR • Strong bartending behind you, ideally with time in a senior or management role, • Real cocktail knowledge and the consistency to deliver it on a full Saturday, • Comfortable leading a small team by example, • A natural host. Warm, present, genuinely interested in people, • Organised enough to run the operational side without being asked twice, • Calm through a busy service and a full events diary, • Someone who notices the detail, because our regulars absolutely do You don't need years of events management. You don't need a group background. If you're an excellent bartender who wants to run a room and look after people properly, that's the person we're looking for. ⚡ ONE MORE THING We'd like this to be a long stay. Everything good about this job compounds. The regulars, the reputation of the room, the events diary, the list you build. A year in, it's a genuinely different job to the one you start. That only pays off for someone who wants to stay and build it, and we'd rather be honest about that now than six months in. If you're looking for the next step rather than the next stopgap, this is one of the best rooms in London to take it in. 👋 HOW TO APPLY Hit apply, and tell us one drink you'd put on our list. That's the whole application. One drink, one line on why. We read every one and reply to everyone. If it looks like a fit, we'll set up a quick video chat, then get you in to see the place, meet the team and take in the view - followed by a paid trial shift so you can decide for yourself. The 53rd floor is very difficult to describe and very easy to show you.

We are seeking an experienced and creative Head Chef to lead the kitchen of a modern European restaurant inspired by Spanish and Greek Mediterranean cuisine. The role combines traditional techniques with a contemporary approach and involves delivering high-quality restaurant service alongside weddings, corporate events, private dining and other large-scale catering occasions.

Crudo Restaurant & Tiny Wine Bar

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.

We are a catering events business that incorporates several different brands within it. The Fendale Group comprises Caiger & Co, Spoilt for Choice, The Pie Man, Sophie Wright Catering and Archies. We deliver a diverse range of events, from private weddings and bespoke dinner parties for high-end corporate clients to workplace catering and more cost-conscious options. We create food and hospitality experiences that bring people together. Built on founder energy and purposeful brands, we craft exceptional food with heart and intention. As we move towards our B-Corp certification, we are committed to creating impact beyond the plate - championing sustainability, looking after our people, and cultivating meaningful connections with our clients and communities. About You We are looking for an adaptable, skilled, and passionate Sous Chef to join our production kitchen team on a Temp-to-Perm basis. This model gives you the opportunity to hit the ground running, learn our group systems, and ensure mutual fit before transitioning into a permanent leadership role within our growing hospitality group. As our Temp-to-Perm Sous Chef, you will work alongside our Head Chef to drive prep, production, and service execution across our event portfolios and corporate catering channels.

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. Rocola Studio 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 building a place that's creative, ambitious and collaborative. Somewhere guests want to return to regularly, and somewhere chefs are genuinely excited to cook.
