Bar Development Manager & Floor Supervisor

Don Padrino is looking for a Bar Development Manager & Floor Supervisor to take full ownership of our bar operation and help develop it into a destination in its own right.

This is not simply a bartending role.

We are looking for someone with strong cocktail knowledge, commercial awareness and leadership ability who can help shape the next stage of the Don Padrino bar — from drinks, atmosphere and presentation to stock control, supplier relationships, profitability and team development.

Alongside leading the bar, you will also act as a Floor Supervisor, supporting the wider front-of-house operation and helping lead busy restaurant services.

What the role involves

You will have significant responsibility for:

• Developing the bar concept and guest experience
• Creating and improving cocktail menus
• Developing signature drinks
• Reviewing spirits, wines and other products
• Improving the atmosphere and presentation of the bar
• Increasing pre-dinner, after-dinner and bar-only trade
• Managing stock, wastage and gross profit
• Working with suppliers
• Training the wider team
• Developing bar events and experiences
• Supervising the restaurant floor during service
• Supporting the management team
• Helping drive overall front-of-house standards

We want someone who can look at the current operation, identify opportunities and explain exactly how they would develop it.

We want to understand how you think

As part of the application process, applicants will complete a detailed role-specific assessment covering areas including:

• Your research into Don Padrino
• What you would change about the current bar
• What you would keep
• How you would implement your ideas
• Estimated costs and commercial considerations
• Suppliers and stock requirements
• Staffing and training
• Operational logistics
• Cocktail and drinks development
• Gross profit and revenue
• Your proposed 30, 60 and 90-day development plan

You will also be asked to submit your own Don Padrino Bar Development Plan.

We are not looking for generic answers. We want to understand your ideas, your commercial thinking and how you would actually deliver them.
