Strong inventory management skills with a clear understanding of ordering, stock control and cost management.
Excellent communication skills – able to give clear direction, liaise with front-of-house and resolve issues calmly.
Creative approach to dishes and menus, with the ability to innovate while maintaining consistency and commerciality.
Customer service focused – passionate about delivering memorable dining experiences.
Effective problem-solving skills with the ability to adapt quickly during busy services.

Person Specification – Traits We Value

Problem-solving mindset – proactive and solutions-focused.
Teamwork and a team player attitude – supportive, respectful and inclusive.
Creativity – a flair for menu creation and presenting compelling dishes.
Adaptability – comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Ongoing training and development to support culinary and leadership growth.
A friendly, inclusive working environment in a busy Cardiff venue with regular events and strong local trade.
