  • Oversee stock control and beverage rotation, ensuring the bar is fully ready before each event.
  • Ensure full compliance with Health & Safety, Food Hygiene, and Licensing regulations.
  • Deliver exceptional guest service by anticipating needs and resolving issues promptly.
  • Communicate changes in event details to all relevant departments in a clear and timely manner.
  • Maintain and update departmental standards, delivering ongoing training to staff.
  • Support revenue growth through service excellence and cross-department collaboration.
  • Enforce correct dress code, grooming, and professional behaviour among all C&B staff.

What Makes You the Perfect Fit?

You will thrive in this role if:

  • You take pride in delivering impeccable event setups and maintaining high standards of presentation.
  • You are a dependable leader who excels in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • You are organised, proactive, and hands-on, ensuring seamless event operations.
  • You understand the vital importance of behind-the-scenes coordination to support both the team and clients.
