We’re looking for a Restaurant Supervisor to join the team at Jazz Cafe.
This isn’t just about running service. It’s about running a night.
The lights drop. The bass kicks in. The room fills. Upstairs on the mezzanine, guests settle in for dinner with one of the best views in London. Straight onto the stage. No turns. No rush. One sitting. All night. Done properly. If you care about genuine hospitality, thrive in high energy rooms, and want to grow into something bigger than your current title, keep reading.
The world famous Jazz Cafe is an award winning live music venue, showcasing rising stars and global names across hip hop, soul, jazz, world and electronic music. An intimate, two floor setting. A restaurant that overlooks the stage. Easily one of the most exciting dining experiences in the city.

* Working as one team
You’ll work closely with the kitchen and senior managers. When the stage is live and the restaurant is full, everyone needs to be in sync. Just great service.
