Full job description

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on, commercially minded General Manager to take full ownership of Welborne Corner Café.

This is not a shift-running role — this is a site leadership position. You will be responsible for the performance of the business, leading the team, controlling costs, driving sales, and delivering a consistently high-quality customer experience.

You will run the café as your own business.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Running the Business

Owning day-to-day operations and overall site performance
Managing labour, stock, and costs in line with targets
Delivering consistent, well-organised, high-standard service

Driving Sales

Leading from the front to increase spend per head
Training and motivating the team to upsell confidently
Supporting local marketing and community engagement

Leading the Team

Building, managing and developing a strong café team
Planning rotas effectively around trade
Driving accountability, standards, and performance

Controlling Costs

Managing labour % and staffing levels proactively
Owning stock control, ordering and wastage reduction
Investigating issues and taking action quickly

Standards & Compliance (Non-Negotiable)

Maintaining full food safety and hygiene compliance
Ensuring all systems, checks and processes are followed
Keeping the café audit-ready at all times

Customer Experience

Setting the tone on service, energy and professionalism
Handling customer feedback directly
Ensuring consistency across every shift

What We’re Looking For

Minimum 5 years’ experience in a café, restaurant, or hospitality leadership role
Proven ability to manage teams and deliver commercial performance
Strong understanding of labour control, stock management and cost discipline
A hands-on leader who leads from the front
Highly organised, proactive and solutions-focused
Comfortable making decisions and taking ownership

What Success Looks Like

A well-run, organised café that operates consistently
Strong control of labour, stock and costs
A stable, engaged and accountable team
Growth in sales and customer spend
High standards maintained without compromise

Pay: Up to £40,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Discounted or free food
