Manchester Cafe Manager

at  Allpress Espresso

We’ve been roasting speciality coffee for over 30 years. From humble beginnings as a coffee cart in Auckland, NZ, Allpress has evolved into a trusted brand that stands for flavour, quality and great customer experience. Right from the start three core principles have formed the backbone of our business – People, Flavour and Innovation.
We are united in our genuine care for each other, our customers, and our belief in what we do. We need great people who will bring their imagination, skills and most importantly, their passion to our business.

We are currently looking for an experienced Café Manager to run our Manchester Café space. Leading the café team, the Café Manager oversees the smooth and quality operation of our busy café as well as bringing the Allpress Culture to the whole cafe team.
Our Café is unique in its dual purpose to serve delicious coffee to our customers, but also exemplify the Allpress brand and showcase our coffee to potential wholesale customers. This means a keen interest in coffee and ability to be an exceptional brand ambassador with a focus of connecting in with the local community is a must.
We are looking for a strong leader, who is flexible, organised and has a real knack for solving problems. It’s important that this person enjoys a challenge, can be resourceful when required and maintains a positive attitude towards tasks and always aspires to uplift the team. We are looking for a true innovator who is committed to continuous improvement and will take charge of the evolution of the space. Previous people management experience is essential as you will be involved in the recruitment, on-boarding, coaching and developing new and existing team members.
Other responsibilities include managing the day to day operations – running a smooth shift, maintaining a high standard of coffee and food presentation, ordering, creating rotas/schedules, reporting, building maintenance and supplier management and responsibility for overseeing an efficient café P & L.
As a Café Manager your priority is exceptional customer service, but you know how to make sure everyone has a great time on their shift.
