Wine-focussed Front of House Manager, New opening
About Us:
Opening Spring 2021 in Haggerston, East London, we are seeking a strong team to launch and grow with our project — a wine-drinkers’ club house and community. The site will be home to a wine cellar, restaurant, intimate club area, and retail store.
The clubhouse will create a unique community of drinkers, connecting established wine-mavens, the cellar-curious and everyone in between, through curated events in a relaxed, considered space.
Please note, the role will ideally start at least one month ahead of launch.
Job Description:
We’re looking for a wine-focussed front of house manager to:
– establish and oversee the smooth operation of our restaurant and wine club
– manage and support a small but mighty FOH team
– collaborate with the club manager in creating an exceptional clubhouse experience for members, their guests and the wider community
– work closely with our founder in executing a truly novel and exciting wine program
Other desirable experience and qualities include:
– financial reporting
– food safety, health and safety and HR compliance
– operational systems set-up for new openings
The Ideal Candidate:
We need someone who our members can geek out over wine with! This is the only non-negotiable requirement. We’re not quite as concerned about formal qualifications as we are about finding an individual with in-depth wine knowledge and an appetite to learn even more.
We want our venue to become a second home for wine-drinkers in London, so our ideal candidate will have an intuitive sense for exemplary hospitality and a keen eye for detail.
Finally, we seek to create as diverse a team as possible in our recruitment process. We strongly encourage applications from the BIPOC and BAME communities – if you feel this applies to you, we really would like to hear from you.
