Position Overview & Specifications

We are continuing to grow our uniquely successful hospitality business through opening new Lounges across the country. Naturally this means we’re always looking for the very best Operations Managers to complement our strong internal talent pipeline. Ensuring that both our people and our communities grow with us, year on year.

You are probably an Operations Manager or Area Manager, in bars or restaurants already with fresh food and wet led experience, looking to become part of the team in a growing company with a big future.

We are looking for people who will...

  • Believe: In themselves, in their teams, in what we are trying to achieve for our customers and in the power of hospitality as a force for good.
  • Be honest: Have the strength of character to own up to what's not going right and tell it like it really is.
  • Know their people: Not just their names, but what makes them tick and how to get the best out of them.
  • Command the detail: Stocks, rotas, H&S, lightbulbs, the nooks and crannies of the P&L - uncompromising operational standards both front and back of house.
  • Build a team: You'll be a natural leader, good at recruiting, with infectious passion and the ability to balance seriousness with a sense of fun.
  • Never settle: For second best that is. We're obsessive about learning from yesterday, in each site, every day.
  • Work hard: We should stress it's not an easy job, it's a way of life - hugely rewarding if you get it and are fully committed, incomprehensible if you aren't.

In return we offer…

  • Competitive salary + achievable bonus.
  • £4k car allowance + mileage
  • Annual shares award
  • Full expenses and generous mileage allowance in lieu of company car.
  • Free meals at work
  • 33 days holiday (including bank hols)
  • Easy access to your pay as you earn it with Wage Scheme
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity entitlements after 2 years' service
  • Great opportunity for personal development and career progression
  • Annual ops trip
  • The best staff party – Loungefest!

Where are you now?

Flexibility on location is an advantage and we offer relocation packages to enable this. So if you’re utterly fantastic, we don’t want to miss out on you, and may find a way to be able to bring you into our growing Loungers team
