We are looking for a highly professional full-time Assistant Restaurant Manager to join our Food & Beverage team at The Mitre, Hampton Court.
A refined, relaxed boutique hotel on the banks of the River Thames next to Hampton Court Palace. Easily commutable by train or car-this as a great place to work and become part of the Signet family.We offer a generous Tronc of about £2,500 per year, paid monthly with your normal pay, (if you work full time, pro rata amount for part-time) from your first day at work!
You will…
-
Take the reins when the Restaurant Manager is off gallivanting – stepping up, leading from the front and making sure the F&B team are firing on all cylinders.
-
Be our resident guest-whisperer – you’ll be out on the floor where the magic happens, chatting to guests, spotting what they need before they ask and making sure every visit feels a little bit special.
-
Become a menu mastermind – know your steaks from your soufflés, your G&Ts from your Old Fashioned's and, most importantly, what’s on the menu today. You’ll keep on top of new dishes, changes and specials so you can talk about them with confidence (and enthusiasm).
-
Get everyone in the starting blocks – lead the pre-service briefing, get the team into position, share the important stuff and make sure everyone knows the plan before the doors open and the fun begins.
-
Be the ringmaster of events – help bring weddings, celebrations, dinners and all manner of shenanigans to life, from setting up the space to keeping an eye on the action once the guests arrive.
-
Keep our learning detectives on the case – make sure every team member has completed their compliance training, because apparently knowing the rules is important too.
-
Be the champion of our Tier Tests – make sure our newest team members get theirs completed at the end of probation, celebrating their progress along the way.
-
Keep things squeaky clean and above board – champion our Hygiene, Health & Safety standards and make sure the team is doing things properly. We like a bit of chaos, but never when it comes to safety.
-
Most importantly, bring your own bit of Signet sparkle. We’re not looking for someone who simply ticks boxes. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their team, loves hospitality and isn’t afraid to have a little fun while making brilliant things happen.
