Overview
Sitting right in the heart of Gunwharf Quays, The Liquorist adds a stylish and energetic edge to Portsmouth's nightlife. It's a place where glamour meets good times, offering an impressive selection of gins, rums, and bespoke cocktails, along with premium spirits, wines, and craft beers. Whether guests are popping in for a lazy brunch, a laid-back drink in the sunshine, or gearing up for a lively evening, The Liquorist has them covered. From early mornings serving breakfast from 9am to both locals and tourists soaking up the sea air, through to late-night parties that roll into the early hours, this is a true all-day trading venue. The atmosphere is brought to life with Happy Hour vibes, buzzing brunches, artisan pizzas, small plates, and the excitement of live sport shown on huge HD screens and a 10-ft projector. As General Manager, you'll be at the helm of it all, driving success through brilliant leadership, smooth day-to-day operations, and a guest experience that truly reflects the bold and vibrant personality of the venue. You'll be leading a dynamic team across the bar, front-of-house, and kitchen, inspiring them to deliver top-notch service every time and ensuring every guest leaves with a smile. You'll take charge of managing budgets, hitting sales targets, keeping stock under control, and making sure everything runs efficiently behind the scenes. Cleanliness, maintenance, health and safety, and licensing compliance will all fall under your remit, and you'll keep standards high without breaking a sweat. People development is key in this role too, and you'll have the chance to support, coach and grow talent within your loyal team. Salary: Up to £52,000 p.a.
