Assistant Restaurant & Bar Manager

Are you an experienced Food & Beverage professional with supervisory experience seeking progression? We'll hedge a guess that you're able to spin 100 plates at once, not literally – of course, but you're someone who thrives under pressure and somehow is still able to make those finishing touches because it's all in the detail!

As cliché as it sounds, you'll be all about change, constantly wanting to find innovative ways to put a smile on your customers face. You'll be juggling customers such as Christian, who has a particular table she likes to sit out because it over-looks the gardens; or Ali who is always up for trying something new and delicious, as long as it doesn't contain gluten.

Here at Holiday Inn Shepperton, we know that each and every member of our team consistently pursues outstanding – and this is why we trust them to find innovative and creative way to make your customers smile.

What will I be responsible for as an Assistant Restaurant & Bar Manager?

As a Assistant Restaurant & Bar Manager, you'll have a lot on your plate with the following:

• Supporting with the provision of an outstanding restaurant service
• Coaching, mentoring and leading your restaurant team - ensuring their commitment to delivering outstanding service with a trusting and respectful approach
• Getting to know your customers and using your relationships to offer suggestions to enhance their experiences, remembering those little details so that you, too, are memorable
• Working closely with our F&B Manager who will encourage you to find your own unique ways to further enhance your guest experience.
• Managing stock and labour margins against your P&L.

Is this Assistant Restaurant & Bar Manager role right for me?

• You'll already be an established Food & Beverage Supervisor seeking their next challenge
• Whilst it would be great if you had experience working in a multi-outlet hotel, this isn't essential
• Experience leading, coaching and training a team
• To be successful in this role you will be engaging, a relationship builder and influencer
• You will be flexible, adaptable – hardworking and FUN!

What's in it for me?

• Discounts across retail, restaurants, events etc (because we know life isn't just about work)
• Family and Friends discounts in hotels across the IHG Hotels
• Leisure Club / Gym free membership
• International Travel at Employee Rate for other branded hotels within our brand family (and you're not just limited to good old Britain – our family has hotels that span all over the world!)
• Parking on site for free
• Meals for free on shift – hard work is hungry work!
• Progression Room to grow, with opportunities across the UK and internationally
• Uniform provided
• Flexible attitude and working hours

Whether we are passing on a sales lead, creating an on-trend specials dish or simply looking after guests and employees, here we believe that the details matter. We know that each and every member of our team consistently pursues outstanding – and we have a firm belief in trusting our teams to find innovative and unique ways to do this. And in return? Not only do we offer a highly competitive benefits package, but through our career opportunities and development, we also support you wholeheartedly on your own personal pursuit of outstanding.

With 54 hotels (and counting) in our UK portfolio, we are passionate about embracing change, whether it be new brands, hotel refurbishments or transformation projects – we love it all. Our teams work together collaboratively to reach our goals as a – you guessed it – family. To be a great fit for us, you too will demonstrate a passion for change that will be rewarded with both national and international opportunities across a range of brands including IHG – voco^TM, Holiday Inn, Express and Crowne Plaza, Marriott and Hilton Hotels & Resorts.
