Owners / Manager

We're looking for a driven, people-focused Supervisor to help lead the day-to-day running of Huntly's Kitchen and play a key role in shaping our guest experience, team culture, and commercial success.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll be at the heart of service--supporting the team, making smart operational decisions, and helping to deliver the warm, welcoming atmosphere we're known for. When senior management is off-site, you'll step confidently into the lead role, ensuring standards remain consistently high across food, service, and operational performance.

If you love hospitality, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy developing both people and businesses, this role gives you the chance to make a real impact.

Key Responsibilities

Oversee smooth daily service, ensuring consistent quality and memorable guest experiences. Support efficient systems for rotas, stock control, ordering, and workflow. Maintain full compliance with licensing, health & safety, and food hygiene standards. Assist with labour forecasting, rota planning, and cost controls to help meet business targets.

People & Team Development

Help recruit, train, and motivate a passionate, high-performing team. Foster a positive, supportive workplace built on clear communication and accountability. Assist with appraisals, development plans, and performance management when required.

Commercial & Financial Awareness

Support P&L performance through labour control, stock accuracy, and GP awareness. Monitor key performance metrics--covers, margins, sales mix, average spend--and help action improvements. Contribute creative ideas for local marketing, events, and private hire to grow revenue. Work with senior management and the Head Chef to maintain strong supplier relationships.

Guest Experience & Community Engagement

Uphold high standards of service, presentation, and hospitality across the venue. Build positive community connections through social media, partnerships, and events. Act as a confident brand ambassador for Huntly's Kitchen at all times.

Reporting & Accountability

Support the preparation of weekly KPI and P&L snapshots with clear actions. Maintain accurate records across all operational areas, including compliance and H&S. Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, and guest satisfaction.

What We're Looking For

Experience in a supervisory or team-leader role within hospitality. Strong communication skills and a calm, confident approach in a fast-paced environment. Commercial understanding of cost control, labour management, and KPIs. Passionate about great service, great food, and building a strong team culture. Organised, reliable, and comfortable making decisions on the spot. Flexible availability including weekends and peak trading times.

What We Offer

Competitive salary plus tronc and performance-based bonuses. Development and progression opportunities within a growing business. A supportive, hands-on leadership team who value creativity and initiative. Staff meals, discounts, and a friendly workplace atmosphere. Sociable working patterns where possible. Free on-site parking.
