Are you an experienced hospitality manager who enjoys leading a team, building customer relationships and running a busy coffee shop?

  • Take responsibility for weekly sales targets, manage costs and use your understanding of profit and loss to drive results.

  • Set clear standards for customer service, keeping the shop welcoming, organised and running smoothly.

  • Work alongside your team on the floor, handling busy periods and solving problems as they arise.

  • Manage stock and HR systems, keeping the operational side of the business organised.

  • Build a team you’re proud of. Help create a workplace where people feel supported, take pride in their work and enjoy coming in.

  • Room to grow. There are opportunities to develop within the business for someone who delivers results and wants more responsibility.
