Job description

Café Manager


Prestigious Conference & Exhibition Venue | Central London


£36,000 - £38,000 per annum


40 Hours per Week | 5 Days out of 7 but predominantly Mon-Fri


Lead a thriving café operation at one of London's premier events venues.

We're looking for a passionate and hands-on Café Manager to oversee the daily operation of a busy café within a leading conference and exhibition venue in Central London.

This is far more than a traditional café management role. You'll be at the heart of a dynamic environment that welcomes office tenants, business professionals, exhibitors, delegates and event attendees from across the UK and beyond. With a busy calendar of conferences, exhibitions and live events, no two days are ever the same.


The café serves a high-quality offer including speciality coffees, fresh sandwiches, seasonal salads, homemade cakes and a range of hot food options. We're seeking an enthusiastic leader who can inspire a team, deliver exceptional customer experiences and thrive in a fast-paced events environment.


The Role

  • Lead the day-to-day operation of the café, ensuring consistently excellent service standards
  • Recruit, train, motivate and develop a high-performing team
  • Manage staff rotas and labour scheduling
  • Maintain exceptional standards of food quality, presentation and cleanliness
  • Ensure full compliance with food safety, health & safety and company procedures
  • Manage stock levels, supplier orders and cost control
  • Lead from the front during busy service periods and large-scale event days
  • Work closely with venue management teams to plan and deliver seamless service during conferences and exhibitions


About You

  • Proven management experience within a café, contract catering or high-volume hospitality environment
  • A confident and inspirational leader with strong people management skills
  • Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
  • Commercially aware with experience managing stock and labour costs
  • Passionate about great food, quality coffee and outstanding customer service
  • Able to remain calm, focused and proactive during busy service periods
  • A hands-on manager who enjoys being part of the action


If you are an ambitious Café Manager looking for your next challenge in a vibrant, fast-paced venue, we'd love to hear from you.
