At Redroaster, we run some of Brighton’s favourite independent restaurants, and one of the UK’s oldest certified organic coffee roastery’s. Our goal is not only to create and sustain a group of restaurants that Brightonians are proud of but to continue sharing our profits with social projects in Rwanda and the UK.
We are a sustainable restaurant group with five sites, an accredited B Corp, and holders of the highest rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association. This is an exciting time for us as we continue to grow, and we’re always keen to welcome like-minded, fun, and passionate people to grow with us. We are currently looking for an experienced, customer-orientated Assistant Manager to join our existing management team.
As Assistant Manager, you’ll play a key role in the day-to-day running of the restaurant, leading from the front to deliver outstanding guest experiences. You’ll be hands-on, visible on the floor, and passionate about maintaining high standards while supporting and developing your team.
As an Assistant Manager, you will:
- Have experience running a busy restaurant or café, motivating teams and consistently delivering high standards
- Be naturally customer-focused, enjoying interaction with guests and leading service from the floor
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment and prefer hands-on management over office-based work
- Support the development of food and drink menus and enjoy finding new ways of working to grow sales
- Have experience with stock management and a solid understanding of GP control and labour budgets
- Lead by example, creating a positive, welcoming culture for both guests and team members
This is a very exciting time across all of our sites, with genuine opportunities for training, development, and progression. We strongly believe in investing in our people and promoting from within wherever possible.
In return, we offer:
- Christmas Day and Boxing Day off
- Eat-in discounts for you and your friends/family
- Pension scheme
- Company events, parties, and trips
- Supplier visits
- 28 days holiday
- Internal training across all sites
- Clear opportunities for career progression
If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Flora in the first instance with a brief cover letter and your CV.
