Store Manager

About Harvest & Go

Harvest & Go is a fresh, fast-paced concept built around real food that actually does something for you — think vibrant salads, matcha, speciality coffee and smoothies made properly, not just assembled. We're all about quality ingredients, quick service and a genuinely good customer experience, and we're looking for a Store Manager who can bring that vision to life every single day.

The Role

We're after an experienced, hands-on manager to run our Aldgate site — someone who can lead a team, keep standards high, and make sure every customer walks away happy (and slightly addicted to the matcha). You'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the store: people, product, numbers, and everything in between.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading, coaching and rota-ing a team of baristas and food prep staff
• Overseeing daily operations — opening/closing, stock control, ordering and supplier relationships
• Maintaining food safety, hygiene and health & safety standards (including HACCP compliance)
• Managing labour costs, waste and P&L performance against targets
• Recruiting, onboarding and training new team members
• Handling customer feedback and resolving issues quickly and professionally
• Driving sales through great service, product knowledge and local marketing initiatives
• Ensuring consistent quality across coffee, food and drinks preparation
• Managing scheduling in line with Working Time Regulations and business needs

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience managing a coffee shop, café, QSR or similar hospitality site
• Strong people management skills — you can lead, motivate and hold a team accountable
• Solid understanding of food safety and hygiene practices (Level 2 Food Hygiene minimum; Level 3 desirable)
• Comfortable with stock management, ordering and basic P&L
• A genuine interest in health-focused food and quality coffee/matcha culture
• Calm under pressure, especially during peak service
• Right to work in the UK

Pay: £32,000.00-£48,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
