Assistant Manager – Baraki (Pyro)
Summary
Baraki is the outdoor bar and terrace operation within Pyro, playing a critical role in driving both revenue and atmosphere across the wider site.
In the warmer months, Baraki operates as a large-scale outdoor bar and terrace, combining high-volume drinks with table-service food. It is one of the most important trading areas within Pyro. In the cooler months, the terrace transitions into a more intimate but still commercially important space that must remain active, well-run and relevant.
This role operates as the day-to-day owner of Baraki. The Assistant Manager at Baraki will lead the floor, deliver corporate events and ensure the space performs at a high level operationally and commercially.
