Front of House Supervisor / Close-Down Lead

Front of House Supervisor / Close\-Down Lead

Bowl \& Stroll – Salad Shop
Pay: £14\.50 per hour
Hours: Monday to Friday, approximately 10am–4pm (35h pw)
Location: In person
Start date: Immediate start required

Bowl \& Stroll is looking for a reliable, organised and hands\-on Front of House Supervisor / Close\-Down Lead to join our weekday team.

We are a fresh food lunch spot focused on salad bowls, simple service, clean standards and doing the basics properly every day.

This is a hands\-on front\-of\-house supervisor role. You will be expected to serve customers, keep the counter organised, support the lunchtime rush, wash dishes where needed, keep the shop clean, and take ownership of the daily close\-down and reset.

We already have a kitchen lead in place, so this role is focused on the front of house, customer service, daily shop standards, cleaning, close\-down and making sure the shop is left ready for the next day.

The right person will be reliable, clean, practical, confident with customers and comfortable taking responsibility without needing constant supervision.

Important

Applicants must be available for an immediate start.

Please only apply if you are genuinely available to start straight away and can reliably work weekday daytime hours.

Main responsibilities

You will be responsible for:

• Setting up the front\-of\-house area before service


• Serving customers in a friendly, efficient and professional way


• Managing the till and customer orders


• Keeping the front counter clean, stocked and organised


• Keeping drinks, cans, cutlery, napkins, bags and service items topped up


• Making sure the customer\-facing side of the shop looks clean and presentable


• Helping the lunchtime rush run smoothly


• Keeping the queue moving during busy periods


• Supporting rush\-hour staff when needed


• Communicating clearly with the kitchen lead throughout service


• Helping maintain portion, presentation and service standards


• Spotting issues early and reporting them clearly


• Keeping the shop clean, tidy and organised throughout the day


• Taking ownership of the daily close\-down and reset

The main focus is making sure the front of the shop runs properly every day and is left clean, organised and ready for the next morning.

Daily close\-down, cleaning and reset

A key part of this role is the daily clean\-down and close of the shop.

This includes:

• Cleaning down the front counter


• Wiping customer\-facing surfaces


• Washing dishes and service items where needed


• Supporting with general pot wash / kitchen porter\-style tasks


• Restocking drinks, cutlery, napkins, bags and service items


• Checking and changing bins where needed


• Sweeping and mopping front\-of\-house areas


• Making sure the till and customer area are clean and tidy


• Leaving the service area reset for the next morning


• Making sure the shop looks clean and professional before leaving

Kitchen porter, café close\-down, cleaning or food\-service experience would be a strong advantage for this role.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone who is:

• Available for an immediate start


• Reliable and punctual


• Clean, tidy and organised


• Confident with customers


• Calm under pressure


• Practical and hands\-on


• Comfortable washing dishes and helping with cleaning tasks


• Able to take responsibility


• Comfortable working in a small team


• Good at keeping things moving during busy periods


• Mature and professional


• Able to follow simple systems


• Willing to maintain standards every day


• Comfortable giving basic direction to other team members when needed


• Good at communicating problems early instead of letting them build up

Previous experience in cafés, food service, hospitality, retail, supervisor roles, front\-of\-house work, kitchen porter work or cleaning/close\-down roles would be ideal.

You do not need to be a full general manager, but you do need to be someone who can take ownership of the front of the shop and make sure the day runs smoothly and ends properly.

Hours

The role is currently mainly:

Monday to Friday
Approximately 10am–4pm

Our busiest period is lunchtime, especially around 12pm–2pm, so availability during these hours is essential.

We may introduce weekend opening in future, so some weekend availability would be helpful, but the immediate role is focused on weekday daytime service.

Pay

£14\.00 per hour

Why join Bowl \& Stroll?

• Daytime hours


• No late nights


• Current weekday\-focused schedule


• Possible additional weekend hours in future


• Clear role and structure


• Kitchen lead already in place


• Simple, focused menu


• Small team environment


• Fresh food concept


• Opportunity to become a key part of a new, more focused structure

We are rebuilding the team with a focus on doing the basics properly: clean shop, good food, fast service, clear roles and consistent standards.

If you are reliable, clean, organised, available to start immediately and happy to take ownership of the daily shop reset, we would like to hear from you.
