• Support team during busy periods, leading by example and maintaining a strong presence on the floor.
• Respond promptly and professionally to guest queries and complaints, escalating when necessary.

• Train new and existing staff on service steps, upselling, standards, menu knowledge, and guest engagement.
• Conduct refresh training sessions to ensure consistency across all team members.
• Mentor and support junior staff, encouraging a positive team culture and a development‑focused environment.
• Conduct on‑shift coaching to reinforce expectations.
• Create, publish, and manage rotas that ensure correct staffing levels while maintaining labour efficiency.

• Place operational orders for equipment, disposables, cleaning supplies, and FOH essentials.
• Monitor stock levels, manage shortages, and report issues to the F&B Assistant Manager.
• Ensure compliance with all food safety and health & safety standards.
• Support shift briefings, ensuring clear communication of priorities and standards.
• Provide constructive feedback to staff and assist the F&B Assistant Manager in performance reviews.
• Help maintain a positive working environment, fostering teamwork and professionalism.

• Ensure that standards, policies, and procedures are followed at all times.
