Assistant Manager Mrs Fitzherberts

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands\-on Pub Manager to take full responsibility for the day\-to\-day running of our venue.

This isn’t a desk job. We need someone who can lead from the front, build a strong team, deliver great customer service, drive sales, and make sure the business is operating safely, legally and profitably.

The right person will be just as comfortable pulling pints on a busy Saturday night as they are analysing weekly sales figures, managing stock, controlling costs and developing the team.

Key ResponsibilitiesOperations

  • Oversee the day\-to\-day running of the pub.

  • Ensure high standards of service, cleanliness and presentation throughout the venue.

  • Manage opening and closing procedures.

  • Maintain compliance with all licensing, health and safety and food safety requirements.

  • Deal professionally with customer feedback and complaints.
Team Leadership
  • Recruit, train and develop team members.

  • Create staff rotas that meet the needs of the business.

  • Lead, motivate and support the team to deliver excellent customer experiences.

  • Conduct regular performance reviews and provide ongoing coaching.
Financial Management
  • Deliver agreed sales and profit targets.

  • Manage labour costs and staffing levels.

  • Control stock, minimise waste and investigate variances.

  • Monitor weekly and monthly financial performance.

  • Identify opportunities to increase revenue and profitability.
Sales \& Marketing
  • Drive food, drink and event sales.

  • Work with the marketing team to promote the business locally.

  • Develop and deliver events that attract new and returning customers.

  • Build relationships within the local community.
Compliance
  • Ensure full compliance with licensing laws.

  • Maintain health and safety standards.

  • Complete all required records and documentation accurately.

  • Protect company assets and cash handling procedures.
What We’re Looking For
  • Previous experience managing a pub, bar, restaurant or hospitality venue.

  • Strong leadership and people management skills.

  • Experience managing stock, labour and financial performance.

  • Ability to work under pressure and make decisions quickly.

  • Excellent customer service and communication skills.

  • Good understanding of licensing and health \& safety requirements.

  • Commercial awareness and a desire to grow the business.
What Success Looks Like
  • A happy, motivated team.

  • Excellent customer feedback.

  • Strong sales growth.

  • Controlled costs and improved profitability.

  • A safe, compliant and well\-run venue that customers want to return to.
