What we're looking for 

• Individuals. If you’re looking for a place where you can be yourself, this is it. We don’t even do uniforms. 

• A clear passion for hospitality. Whether it’s a drink, a meal, or trends in the industry – you love the world of hospitality. 

• Optimism. You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with. 

• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done. 

• You’re up for doing things differently and trying everything at least once. 

• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs. 

• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun together. 

• 5+ years’ experience in a food and beverage management/director role, in a high-paced and commercial environment. 

• Multi-outlet budgeting and forecasting experience; a clear understanding of the financial expectations of a successful restaurant and bar business.

• A track record of leading large teams in restaurants, kitchen and bars; you’re a natural at inspiring trust and bringing others along on the journey. 

• Exceptional attention to detail in a fast-paced environment, juggling many things at once, always mindful of what makes or breaks the guest experience.
