Our Story
Welcome to Chocolate Bar by Bullion — the UK's first bean-to-bar craft chocolate-focused café experience, born from the award-winning chocolate makers at Bullion.
We started right here in Sheffield's historic Leah's Yard, quickly becoming a destination for indulgent, ethically crafted drinks and vibrant community spirit. Now, we're looking for a passionate Café Manager to lead our flagship location.
The Opportunity
As Café Manager, you'll take full ownership of the day-to-day running of Chocolate Bar at Leah's Yard — leading a brilliant team, delivering joyful customer moments, and serving up our signature hot and iced chocolates, speciality coffees, and chocolate-inspired bakes. This is your chance to manage one of Sheffield's most exciting independent cafés, at the heart of a thriving community space.
What You'll Do
* Run the Show: Oversee daily café operations, ensuring smooth, efficient and high-quality service.
* Build a Brilliant Team: Recruit, train, and support a passionate team who thrive on creativity and hospitality.
* Deliver Results: Drive sales, manage budgets, and track performance to grow the café sustainably.
* Craft the Guest Experience: Make every customer interaction — whether a quick takeaway or a relaxed sit-in — warm, personal, and memorable.
* Champion Quality: Maintain the highest standards across drinks, service, cleanliness, presentation, and compliance.
* Own Stock & Supply: Manage ordering, stock control, and waste reduction.
* Be the Brand: Bring Bullion's ethos — ethical sourcing, bean-to-bar craft, and indulgent innovation — to life every day.
What We're Looking For
* Café Manager or senior hospitality leadership experience.
* Confidence managing both drinks service and a small food offering.
* A genuine passion for high-quality food & drink, with curiosity for craft chocolate.
* Strong people leadership: hiring, coaching, and building a positive, collaborative culture.
* Commercially aware and results-driven.
* Calm under pressure, adaptable, and motivated by creating something special.
* A self-starter who wants to shape and grow with an independent brand.
Speciality Coffee Excellence
At Chocolate Bar, we're not just about exceptional chocolate — we're also passionate about speciality coffee. You'll oversee a premium coffee program featuring ethically sourced beans, carefully roasted for nuanced flavours, and brewed with precision by a skilled team.
