Job Description

Caf Manager Morecambe

34,000 per annum 5 out of 7 days 40 hours per week

A brand-new caf. A blank canvas. An opportunity to build something special from day one.

Simple moments, made special.

Great coffee. Freshly baked pastries. Proper food done well.

Taste Caf is about creating the small, everyday moments people genuinely look forward to a quick coffee that turns into a catch-up, a bite to eat that hits the spot, and a space that feels easy, comfortable, and just right.

This is a new caf opening within a busy retail environment fast-paced, full of energy, and with huge potential. From day one, its a place designed to feel local, welcoming, and worth coming back to.

The Role

This is a start-up opportunity within an established business.

As Caf Manager, youll play a key role in bringing a brand-new site to life setting standards, building a team, and shaping how the caf looks, feels, and operates from the very beginning.

If youve managed a caf, retail unit, or fast-paced food operation before, this is your chance to truly make it your own.

Youll lead from the front, set the tone, and turn a brand-new caf into a space people love from the first morning coffee rush to the final close-down of the day.

What Youll Be Doing

Leading the day-to-day running of a newly opened caf, keeping everything smooth, organised and on point

Recruiting, training and developing a strong team that delivers great service (and enjoys doing it)

Setting and maintaining high standards across food, coffee and presentation

Managing stock, performance and operational processes

Creating a space that feels warm, relaxed and welcoming from day one

Embedding consistency because the little details matter

Ensuring Health & Safety standards are always met and maintained

About You

If youve run a caf, retail unit, or fast-paced food environment, youre well-suited to this role especially if you enjoy building teams and shaping operations.

Youll also be:

A hands-on leader who sets the pace and leads by example

People-focused great with both your team and your customers

Organised, proactive and calm under pressure

Passionate about good food, great coffee and doing things properly

Comfortable taking ownership and continuously improving performance
