A new brand we are working with is launching their very first matcha bar in the heart of Borough Market. Think of it as the flagship for a bigger vision: a network of zero-waste, ethically sourced matcha kiosks across the UK over the next few years.
Join them on day one, shape the playbook and grow into multi-site leadership as new stands roll out.
What You’ll Do

* Own the P&L: hit weekly revenue targets, analyse KPIs and manage cash reconciliation.
* Keep the matcha flowing: oversee ordering, inventory and quality control to make sure every whisked cup is frothy perfection.
* Delight customers: jump on bar as needed, resolve issues on the spot and drive our loyalty programme.
* Stay compliant: maintain 5-star food-hygiene standards, H&S checklists and daily temperature logs.
* Grow the brand: trial limited-edition drinks, collaborate with neighbouring traders and run Instagram-ready activations.
* Help open new stands and stores with training, hiring and guidance
What You’ll Bring
* 2+ yrs retail, café or quick-service management experience.
* A genuine passion for Japanese tea culture (bonus points for barista or SCA certification).
