Restaurant Manager (Wine Jobs: Wine Retail & Sommelier)

Full Time

  Twenty Seven Steps

  Christchurch Central, Christchurch/Canterbury

We will always have your back, listen and do all we can to make your working life the best it can be. We are lifetime hospitality operators with a strong record of successful restaurants and longevity and satisfaction from our employees. We feed you, pay you well, offer 50% staff discount and support your continuing education within the industry. We will always take you to the hospitality awards and another staff outing annually. We truly believe in hospitality as a viable career option and are doing all we can to ensure it is.

Twenty Seven Steps is an upmarket, busy bistro that has been serving classic yet innovative complete meals since 2015. We are complimented with Downstairs, a wine ‘pub’ underneath us which serves interesting plates of well sourced food. Both have a focus on delicious wines, classic cocktails and craft beer. Excellent service is at the core of what we do.

Are we looking for you? We are looking for a Restaurant Manager but we are open to an overall GM also. This job has come up rarely in the last 8 years we've traded. You are the face of our team. Someone who leads from the front, looks after customers and staff alike, hustles the tables, anticipates needs and truly understands a good night's service. Empathy and kindness in your leadership style is needed. Our team has had a rough few months however we have all pulled together beautifully, ensuring we all have each others backs. 

Knowledge around spirits and wine are essential and relationships with suppliers are important. Clear communication and experience are essential along with a valid DM Cert and a passion for wine. You are here for solutions, not problems and have an understanding of budgets. You have strong support from committed owners. Posbiz & Loaded knowledge is an advantage. Again, service is the focus. Hours are 3ish to 10pm - 1amish Tuesday to Saturday nights but there is the space to work in daytime admin time.

In a nutshell, all we've talked about above and excellent hygiene, punctuality, reliability, kindness, hustle and valid work visa essential. You must be able to present in Christchurch for an interview.
