The restaurant fits 100 covers
We have a strong mix of in house and Deliveroo sales. It’s a really vibey site with tons of regulars, we get great footfall from the shopping centre and cinema but we’re also a destination restaurant for locals.
About the Role

- Recruitment for front of house roles
- Building on and maintaining our great company culture. Work life balance and autonomy are really important to us and we’re constantly looking to support you to achieve that not just for yourself but your team too.
- Strong relationship with the kitchen. We don’t see the pass as a divide and with an open kitchen, we’ve always encouraged constructive and productive relationships between foh and boh.
- Systems we’re using are Planday (Rotas), Supy (ordering and stock management), AllGravy (Training), VitaMojo / Deliveroo (EPOS) Google Sheets (reporting)

About You

- Passion for service, people and food. Our burger is insanely good and we’re famous for it, but the atmosphere and team are just as important to the guest experience.
- Great leadership skills. This really will be your site and a big part of your role is to inject your energy and positivity into the atmosphere.
- Taking the time to use your past experience to train and mentor your team.
- Great initiative and confident to take ownership of your site. The big advantage of joining an independent is that we want to give you autonomy over your site. Black Bear is where you can really have a voice and input into the future of your site.
