About the Role
A brand-new café opens in a fast-paced retail environment, offering a blank canvas for you to build something special.

- Lead the day-to-day running of a brand-new café, ensuring smooth operations and seamless management

- Manage stock, performance metrics, and operational processes to drive efficiency
- Create a warm and inviting environment from day one, focusing on guest experience and consistency
- Embed health and safety standards as a core part of the café’s culture
