We are seeking an experienced and talented Assistant General Manager to join our Red Door team at our Chester site.
At Red Door, we’re more than just a cocktail bar – we’re a destination. Known for our creative drinks, vibrant atmosphere and late-night energy, we’re looking for a passionate and experienced Assistant Manager to join our team. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment with great potential for progression, this is the opportunity for you.
The right candidate will play a crucial role in creating a memorable experience for every guest that comes over the threshold, putting excellent service at the forefront of each decision made, whilst supporting the General Manager to ensure smooth operation of the bar.
You will have a solid understanding of the industry, ideally, good connections within the local area, and an unwavering desire to uphold the brand's reputation as one of the best bars in the city.
We need someone that’s confident enough to make decisions and run the venue in the absence of the GM but also someone that’s not afraid to ask for help when required.
Alongside the usual day-to-day tasks that are needed when running a successful late-night cocktail bar, you will be able to think on your feet and have an important part to play bringing in new business that will support the continued growth.
Ambition is a must, alongside a strong work ethic as we are undergoing an aggressive expansion plan, seeking key players to grow with us and develop on this journey.
We hold all our management teams to a high standard, expecting them to lead from the front and motivate our staff by always setting a professional example.
In return, we offer competitive rates of pay, ongoing training and support, and career progression.
