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’re looking for a passionate, hard-working chef to join our lively kitchen in the heart of Soho. You must speak excellent English, be fully authorised to work in the UK, be a team player, and have strong experience in Italian cuisine and pizza. Immediate start. Great opportunity for the right person :)

Hi, We are currently looking for a talented Pastry Chef to join our family team at Bella Roma Beckenham. We are seeking someone skilled and experienced in Italian cuisine, with a passion for creating high-quality desserts and contributing to a strong kitchen team. If you believe you are the right person, we would love to hear from you—please apply. Many thanks, Leo

Operations Manager — Produce Network We supply fresh produce to some of London's best restaurants. While most of the city sleeps, our team is at wholesale markets hand-picking produce that lands in restaurant kitchens before breakfast service. It's fast, physical, and relentless — and right now we're a team of 3 doing the work of 10. We need the fourth. This role in one paragraph You'll run the operational engine of a growing wholesale business. Client calls, order coordination, daily reconciliation, bookkeeping, problem-solving, phone ringing — all of it is yours. You're the first person clients speak to and the last person to check that yesterday's numbers add up. If something goes wrong overnight — a wrong delivery, a short order, a supplier issue — you're the one who finds out, fixes it, and makes sure the client knows before they have to chase us. You own the daytime operation the way our Night Operations Manager owns the night. Between the two of you, the business runs 24 hours. What you'll actually do every day You're the client's main contact. Orders come in via WhatsApp, phone, and email. You process them, confirm them, flag anything unusual. When a chef calls at 8:15 AM asking where their herbs are, you already know the answer because you've read the night report and checked the dispatch log. You don't wait for problems to come to you — you call the client before they call you. That's the difference between an assistant and an operator. You coordinate the fix when things go wrong. Produce wholesale is not a clean business. Items get substituted, deliveries run late, a crate arrives damaged. When it happens, you own the resolution: investigate, coordinate with the night team or drivers, arrange the fix (re-delivery, credit note, replacement), close the loop with the client, and log the whole thing. If the same problem shows up three times, you're the person who flags it as a process issue — not just an incident. You reconcile everything, every day. What was ordered vs what was received from suppliers vs what was dispatched vs what was invoiced. Purchase orders matched against supplier invoices. Sales orders matched against customer invoices. Inventory tracked. Shortages flagged before they become emergencies. You produce a daily summary the founder reviews in 5 minutes — clean, accurate, no surprises. If you're the kind of person who finds satisfaction in numbers that balance, this will be your favourite part of the job. You run the books. Day-to-day bookkeeping in QuickBooks or Xero: bank feeds, invoices, bills, categorisation. Debtor chasing — politely on the due date, firmly at 3 days overdue, escalated to the founder at 30 days. Weekly financial summary. Monthly close support. You maintain the product cost data that powers margin tracking — weekly updates, no exceptions. The founder makes pricing and growth decisions based on numbers you produce. They have to be right. You own the phone. The main business line rings and you answer it. Existing clients with questions, prospective clients with enquiries, suppliers with updates. You're professional, you're warm, you handle what you can and route what you can't. For new enquiries, you capture the details, qualify the lead, and hand it to the founder. You support outbound sales — managing the email pipeline, scheduling meetings, preparing documents. When a new account closes, you run the onboarding playbook. Who we're looking for — honestly We're not looking for a CV. We're looking for a specific type of person. You're the person who walks into a room and notices what's broken before anyone tells you. You fix things that aren't your job because leaving them broken bothers you. You write things down because you know you'll forget otherwise. You don't need to be chased — you chase other people. When something goes wrong, your instinct is to understand why, not to find someone to blame. You're comfortable saying "I don't know, but I'll find out" and then actually finding out. You're comfortable making a decision with 80% of the information because waiting for 100% means the client is already unhappy. You're comfortable being wrong sometimes, because you know that the person who never makes a mistake is the person who never does anything. You probably have some experience in operations, admin, or office management — ideally at a small business where you wore multiple hats. Maybe you've worked in food, hospitality, or wholesale. Maybe you haven't, but you've run the back end of something and you know what it feels like when everything depends on you not dropping the ball. Essential: Strong written and spoken English · comfortable with numbers, spreadsheets, and accounting tools · self-directed (you manage yourself, we don't manage you) · able to hold 5 priorities at once without losing any · honest about mistakes · quick to learn new software (Airtable, QuickBooks/Xero, Lemlist) · right to work in the UK. Preferred: Bookkeeping experience or QuickBooks/Xero familiarity · food, hospitality, or wholesale background · complaint handling or fast-paced customer service experience · inventory or stock management exposure. Nice to have: AAT qualification · Airtable or CRM experience · knowledge of the London restaurant scene. Why this job is worth your time Most operations roles are dead ends. This one isn't. Here's why. We're a team of 3, growing fast. The person who takes this role will — within months, not years — understand every part of how a wholesale business works: client management, supply chain, financial control, inventory, sales. That's not because we'll send you on a training course. It's because you'll be doing all of it, every day, from week one. The explicit deal: start at £33k. Hit your 3-month performance review targets and move to £38k. Hit your 12-month targets and move to £45k. These aren't vague promises — they're structured milestones tied to specific outcomes we'll agree together in your first week. The long-term path is Chief Operating Officer. That's not a title we're dangling to attract applicants — it's a gap that actually exists in the business and needs to be filled by someone who's earned it from the inside. The founder wants to focus on growth and strategy. The person who proves they can run the day-to-day operation — and then improve it — becomes the person who runs it permanently. The full picture • Hours: 8 AM – 6 PM, Monday to Friday, • Location: London (on-site, not remote — the work requires being where the operation is), • Salary: £33,000 → £38,000 at 3 months → £45,000 at 12 months, all performance-linked, • Title progression: Operations Manager → Head of Operations → COO, • Team: you'll be the 4th person in a tight, high-trust team, • Culture: direct, honest, fast. We tell each other when things are wrong and we fix them together. No politics, no layers, no waiting for permission
