The Wave, Bristol, are recruiting an Assistant Food & Beverage Manager on a permanent basis.

As our Assistant Food & Beverage Manager at The Wave, you will assist in the running of our busy Food and Beverage department which includes the kitchen, Clubhouse and food pop ups around site.

You will be experienced across all areas (bar, floor, counter, cellar and kitchen) working wherever your department needs help. This experience allows you to assist in the training and coaching of your team so they are the best they can be.

Our F&B area can seat 300+ visitors (inside and out) and is a high-volume operation. We feed and water super hungry surfers, our guests staying at The Camp – a 25-safari tent set up, and spectators who come to hang out in our amazing venue.

• Go the extra mile to make our visitors happy and ensuring they leave The Wave with a smile on their face
• Ensure the Clubhouse always looks it’s best, including displays, using your initiative to complete and delegate regular cleaning tasks
• Comply with legal and company health and safety standards, and ensure you are following all risk assessments
• Create, publish and manage the front of house rota in line with labour targets
• Complete check ins, reviews and 1:1’s with the Front of House team. Manage performance fairly through the provision of open, honest and constructive feedback
• Be commercially astute to maximise the Food & Beverage contribution to the business by paying close attention to labour costs, stock management, wastage and opportunities to upsell where possible

We are adventurous, we are bold in our learning, adapt to change positively, face challenges together and explore new opportunities. We respect and care for each other and ourselves, supporting each other because people matter.

• Paid breaks
