Café Manager – Morecambe
Location: Sainsbury's Morecambe Contract: Full-time (5 out of 7 days, 40 hours per week) Salary: £34,000 per annum
The Café Vision
Building something special from day one.
Simple moments, made special—great coffee, freshly baked pastries, proper food done well. At Taste Café, every small everyday moment becomes something people genuinely look forward to: a quick coffee turning into a catch-up, a bite to eat that’s just right, and a space that feels easy, comfortable, and unique.
This is a new café opening within a fast-paced retail environment—full of energy and potential. Your role will shape how it looks, feels, and operates from the very beginning.
About the Role
This is a start-up opportunity within an established business.
As Café Manager, you will:
- Build a strong team from the ground up, setting standards and shaping culture.
- Lead the day-to-day operations of a brand-new site, from opening to close.
- Cultivate a space that’s local, welcoming, and worth returning to.
If you’ve managed a café, retail unit, or fast-paced food operation before—and如果 you thrive on growth and ownership—this is your chance to make it truly yours.
