We're Hiring: Senior Restaurant Manager
The Perch, Oxford | Full time – 5 days out of 7
The Perch is a beautifully restored 17th-century pub and restaurant, just a stone's throw from the city centre, tucked beside the Thames. With its rich history, idyllic beer garden and permanent marquee for weddings and events, it's a place that draws people in and keeps them coming back.
We're on the lookout for a Senior Restaurant Manager to join our small stable management team. It's a hands-on role, with most of your time spent on the floor helping guide, train and support the team to deliver what we call "casual excellence".
We're an independent business with a big focus on fresh, seasonal and locally sourced food and drink. People come to The Perch for quality and a relaxed atmosphere, and we take pride in making sure they get both.
What the role involves:
* Delivering exemplary guest service while keeping things friendly and relaxed
* Training new members of staff, familiarising them with our expectations
* Managing bookings and getting the best out of our table plan, especially during busy services
* Leading by example and making sure our service style stays sharp, friendly and consistent
* Running pre-shift briefings that set the tone and give the team what they need to succeed
* Working closely with our Events Manager, General Manager and kitchen team to keep everything running smoothly
* Supporting and developing the front-of-house team day-to-day
What we're looking for:
* At least a year's experience in a busy, fresh food environment
* Someone who's led a team and knows how to get the best out of people
* A good communicator who enjoys getting to know both staff and guests
* Calm under pressure and happy to roll up your sleeves when needed
* A keen interest in hospitality and a love of good food and drink
What we offer:
* A competitive pay package based on experience
* 30% off food and drink at any of our three Oxford restaurants
* Meals on shift
* A supportive, independent company that recognises what individuals bring to the table
* The chance to work in one of the most beautiful, historic venues in the country
* On-site parking
If you think this sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to hear from you.
