Lead a New Opening for a Top 50 Cocktail Bar Operator
* Role: General Manager
* Location: Durham city centre
Mother Mercy are the team behind one of the UK’s Top 50 cocktail bars.
With sites across Newcastle, we’ve spent the last few years building a reputation for great hospitality, service and quality.
Opening this summer, Mother Mercy brings that same award-winning style of hospitality to the historic city of Durham - and we’re looking for an ambitious General Manager to set the tone in this exciting new venue.
If you’re a Deputy or Assistant Manager who feels ready for the next step, or an existing GM looking for a hands‑on role in a focused, service‑led setting, this could be the move for you.
What we’re looking for:
* You lead from the floor - in service, setting the pace and the standard
* You care about the details - you understand that the little things make a big difference, because that’s where great hospitality is built
* You have a guest-first mindset - you make decisions with the customer in mind at all times
* You’re comfortable with the numbers - labour, stock and margin control, and how they impact financial performance
What you’ll do:
* Keep standards high - from the first guest in to the last drink served
* Set the tone - how the team delivers great hospitality on every shift, through consistency, energy and attention to detail
* Develop your team - through regular one-to-ones and structured development sessions
* Take ownership - of how the site performs, on the floor and behind the scenes
What’s in it for you:
* TRONC typically £4,000-£5,000
* Bonus scheme linked to performance
* 40-hour working week (5 shifts including weekends and evenings)
If you’re passionate about building a business where great hospitality and service sit at its core, then we’d love to hear from you.
