ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll lead shifts from open to close, running the floor and the bar and setting the standard for how the place feels. That means keeping service sharp when it's busy, looking after the team on shift, and sorting issues before they reach a customer.
You'll have a hand in training new starters, managing stock and cellar work, and keeping standards high on cleanliness and the pour.
A Guinness done right, every time, is the benchmark, and you'll be the one holding everyone to it.
There's real scope to grow here as we open new sites, so this suits someone who wants to build something rather than clock in and out.
REQUIREMENTS
Solid bar experience, ideally with some supervisory or management time behind you.
A calm head when it's three deep at the bar.
Genuine personality, the kind that has the craic with customers and lifts the team around you.
Good judgement on the small things: presentation, pace, knowing when to step in.
Reliable, organised, and happy to lead by example rather than from the back.
Cellar and stock experience is a plus, but the right attitude matters more than a tick-list.
