The Wave is a place where people and nature come together to create a healthy, hopeful, and happy environment for guests, the team, and the community.
Role Purpose
As a Wavemaker Food & Beverage (F&B) Supervisor, you’ll lead and inspire our Front of House crew to deliver amazing café and bar experiences at our vibrant, high‑energy surf destination. You’ll bring passion for great coffee, fresh food, and good vibes—combining hands‑on leadership with operational excellence to create memorable moments for every guest, every time.
What You’ll Do
* Lead and empower our FoH Wavemakers through coaching, training, and regular check‑ins—keeping energy high and standards higher.
* Champion coffee culture: dial in espresso, perfect latte art, and keep our machines and team running smoothly.
* Oversee daily operations across café, bar, and event spaces—especially during peak seasons when the pace is as fast as our waves.
* Host and create experiences like coffee tastings, seasonal drinks, and new menu ideas with the F&B and Chef Manager teams.
* Own the details—from cellar and stock management (Procure Wizard) to FIFO rotation and ordering accuracy.
* Keep safety and quality first, managing HACCP systems and upholding top food safety and hygiene standards.
* Be on the front line, making coffee, serving guests, and setting the tone for positive, high‑energy service.
* Create a buzz with genuine hospitality, natural upselling, and team incentives that make everyone proud of what we deliver.
What You Bring
* 2+ years of hospitality experience—ideally as a Head Barista, Bar Supervisor, or F&B Lead in a buzzing café, bar, or visitor attraction.
* Deep coffee knowledge and confidence in training others.
* Strong understanding of bar operations (beer, wine, cocktails, and service flow).
* A steady and positive leader who inspires and supports younger or developing teams.
* Detail‑driven mindset with pride in quality and presentation.
* A genuine love of hospitality, teamwork, and guest experience.
* Level 1 or 2 Food Safety certification (essential).
What We Offer
* 30 days paid holiday (inclusive of bank holidays)
* Free access to staff surf sessions
* Multiple discounts across our surf and other offerings
Our Commitment to Inclusion
We’re built on the idea that everyone should have the chance to experience the joy of surfing and the outdoors—and that starts with our own team. We’re committed to creating a place where people genuinely feel like they belong and can be themselves. We welcome different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and we work hard to make sure the right people are in the right roles, with the support they need to thrive.
