Lantana is a busy independent cafe/restaurant with three central London locations. We are looking for an ambitious, career focused Assistant Manager for our Fitzrovia site, near Tottenham Court Rd. Lantana is consistently recognised as one of the leading cafes in London and has been named by Timeout as both best cafe and one of the best places for brunch in central London.
Your role will involve assisting the General Manager running the various parts of the business: 25-seater dine in café/restaurant open 7 days a week, takeaway business, office catering and private functions. You must have:
- Excellent customer service skills supported by FOH experience in a fast paced restaurant;
- A passion and appreciation for high quality food and coffee;
- Strong team leadership skills with an ability to train and motivate staff in a culture based around teamwork rather than hierarchy;
- An obsession with quality and process; and
- A strong work ethic and ‘can do’ personality.
We pride ourselves on creating a supportive and nurturing environment with an emphasis on development and promotion from within, so we are looking for applicants with a similar outlook and the inclination to nurture and develop our talent. This position would be an excellent stepping stone for an aspiring General Manager.
This is a salaried position (paid fortnightly) for approximately 45 hours per week.
