Cafe & Bar Manager

We're looking for a friendly, organised and commercially-minded Cafe & Bar Manager to take operational control of and creatively develop a Cafe & Bar in the heart of London, for the UK’s leading studio theatre.

We're looking for someone self-motivated, commercially minded and committed to our vision and values. You'll need to be ready to take on full management responsibility for our Cafe & Bar, including menu development, staff management and development (including our front of house staff and duty managers), stock control, ordering and invoices, Food Hygiene standards, adherence to Health and Safety rules and regulations, management of the budget and setting targets (supported by the Co-CEOs), support the promotion and marketing of the Cafe & Bar (with the Head of Communications) and ensuring the highest standards of customer service for all our customers.

As always with a small team, we need someone who is able to juggle multiple areas of work, competing priorities and unexpected challenges - and someone who is confident managing both the business and creative aspects of running hospitality within a cultural venue. But you won't be working alone, you'll be supported by the wider NDT Team working together to achieve our mission.
