Barista & Front of House Host Tempo Golf Club · Queen’s Park, London NW6 Hours: 30 hours per week. Start date: May 2026 Shift patterns: 06:30–15:00 | 15:00–22:30 You’ll need to be comfortable working evenings and weekends. ABOUT TEMPO Tempo Golf Club is a modern indoor golf and social club on Lonsdale Road in Queen’s Park. We’re here to shake up the stuffy golf scene and bring the game back to life — where tradition meets wit, and everyone plays with a bit more style and a lot less seriousness. We’re not a hushed members’ club or somewhere you feel like you need to “know the rules” before walking in. We’re a neighbourhood club. Cold drinks, great coffee, quick repartee, and golf that’s meant to be enjoyed — not overthought. THE ROLE This is a hybrid Front of House role built for someone who likes pace, people, and variety. One minute you’re pulling a flat white. Next you’re hosting a group of 12. Then you’re behind the bar, resetting a simulator bay, or sorting a booking. No two shifts are the same — and that’s exactly the point. You’re the person who keeps the whole venue flowing. COFFEE, BAR & DRINKS Crafting high-quality coffee and matcha during the day Running evening bar service (beer, wine, cocktails, low-intervention drinks) Keeping the bar sharp, stocked, and ready Knowing the menu well enough to actually guide guests Safe, confident operation of all bar equipment FRONT OF HOUSE Welcoming guests with energy and ease Managing check-ins and flow of play across simulator bays Handling bookings, calls, and walk-in enquiries Taking payments via POS systems Supporting simulator setup, basic troubleshooting, and guest support Helping deliver smooth group bookings and private events. VENUE OPERATIONS Opening and closing the venue properly and on time Resetting simulator bays between sessions (balls, tees, clubs, screens) Keeping all guest areas clean, tidy, and ready for the next wave Regular cleaning of high-touch points and shared spaces General housekeeping (we all chip in — this is part of the job) Reporting faults or issues quickly so nothing gets missed Following food hygiene, allergen, and responsible alcohol service standards. We’re building a venue people want to spend time in — not just pass through. That only works if the team cares about how it feels when someone walks through the door. HOW TO APPLY If this sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you. Send your CV and a short note telling us why you’d be a good fit for us.
