Front of House Manager – Topgolf

About Topgolf

Topgolf is a sports entertainment company that has transformed how millions engage with golf, blending it with food, beverages, events, and entertainment. Set in high-energy, high-volume environments, Topgolf thrives on performance and visible results, crafting dynamic experiences that keep guests returning.

Every Topgolf venue is more than just a short game range—it’s a vibrant community where excellence, fun, and customer-centric culture drive success. If you crave a fast-paced workplace where impactful leadership creates meaningful moments, you’ve come to the right place.


The Role

The Front of House Manager plays a pivotal role in our guest-facing operations, leading teams to deliver exceptional service, drive engagement, and uphold operational efficiency. This leadership position requires a dynamic, coaching-focused mindset, an unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction, and a relentless drive to exceed expectations—without ever compromising customer care.

This role isn’t just about running a venue—it’s about curating experiences. Do you crave a young, fast-moving, team-driven culture where coaching techiques help teammates reach their highest game? And where, each day, you elevate what hospitality truly means? If you believe in metric-driven accountability, but champion people over processes, this is your stage.

Topgolf is at its best when the team energetic, service level, and venue engagement hit elite status. As a FOH Manager, you’ll own the pulse of the front of house operations, spearheading daily standards, dealing with issues preemptively, and ensuring every shift is tailored to exceed expectations.

You’ll manage schedules, drive team member development, drive operational best practices and revenue goals, and always put guest delight at the top of the list. You’ll work evenings, weekends, and holidays, with the flexibility needed during holiday seasons, special events and peak periods.


Key Responsibilities

Lead the Guest Experience

  • Define and uphold daily service standards, including checklists, workflows and checkpoints to ensure consistency and excellence in customer-facing interactions.
  • Set the tone on the floor—your presence is critical. Identify opportunities to elevate the guest experience before guests even voice concerns.
  • Ensure full compliance with operational procedures, food safety, and service standards while always prioritizing guest and employee satisfaction.
  • Monitor and staff all shifts to guarantee seamless coverage across components of front of house, from participation to team diversity.

Coach & Develop the Team

  • Provide real-time coaching and reinforcement to front of house team members, correcting performance gaps while praising wins and tracking growth.
  • Foster a team culture of caring and accountability, where everyone feels equipped to excel and enjoys being part of the experience.
  • Lead team development, including hiring, onboarding, scheduling, performance reviews, and career growth, empowering each teammate to succeed.
  • Execute coach development programs (e.g., team-building exercises, leadership behavior audits, video feedback, role-plays) to instill high service standards consistently.

Manage Operations

  • Execute line operations safely and sped up, achieving latency targets and achieving service times.
  • Use guest satisfaction analytics, payroll assessments, and team member feedback to implement continuous improvement, drive process changes, and set new benchmarks.
  • Increase revenue is key—maximize upsell potential, beverage team performance, and club area engagement by leveraging real-time data.
  • Prioritize inventory management and ordering, keep food waste low, and support storage/cleanliness to maximize inventory turnover and product freshness.
  • Coordinate with venue operations to ensure facilities, health standards, and compliance are maintained to guest-ready quality.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
