  • Enhance Guest Experiences: Be the first point of contact for our guests, ensuring that all their needs are met and any issues are resolved quickly.
  • Drive Operational Efficiency: Oversee staffing, scheduling, and inventory management while keeping an eye on budgets and financial performance.
  • Ensure Compliance and Safety: Maintain a safe, welcoming environment by ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, licensing laws, and venue policies.

  • Vibrant Atmosphere: Be at the heart of a lively pub and entertainment hub that's always buzzing with events, music, and great energy.

What We're Looking For

  • A proven leader with previous AVM or hospitality management experience.
  • A positive attitude with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, close-knit team environment.
  • A focus in Front-of-house – this role is hands-on, not office-based.
  • Availability to work night shifts, with a split of 1-2 day shifts per week.
  • A passion for delivering exceptional guest service.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to handle problems on the spot.
  • A solid understanding of hospitality regulations, financial management, and best practices.

  • RSG: Required to oversee gambling activities.
  • CLO Certification: Important for managing customer inquiries and complaints effectively.
