JOB DESCRIPTION

Why work with us?

  • 4 days on 3 days off
  • Fully systemised kitchen with costed menus using Restoke
  • Development opportunities - training resources and sponsor your training courses

Work with a small team who loves looking after our locals with quality pub-style food, cocktails, craft beer and giving our guests a great experience. 

We are continuously looking for ways to improve ourselves and our skills. Our vision is to be the heart of the Burnley side of Richmond - a local bar for local people.

We’ve been operating for nearly 6 years and still going strong.

We aren’t pretentious but we pride ourselves on quality, value and our local community by supporting our locals through using locally sourced products and improving our sustainability. The bar-side of the business produces less waste than a household as we, compost and recycle nearly everything. We’d love someone to help with the kitchen side of this too.

We love looking through the best books out there for inspiration and techniques to take our product to the next level so you’ll be able to get creative. We do more than serve up delicious food, we make our own vinegar and pickles from our leftovers.

We use Restoke so all recipes and procedures are clear, systemised, easy to follow and easy to cost.

We host a popular trivia night on Wednesday nights, Open Mic on Thursdays, have the best happy hour in Richmond, do a Bottomless for Beer-Lovers and host many private functions.

I enjoy rewarding those on my team who go above and beyond and helping my staff advance in their careers so let me know how I can help you achieve your goals.

 

Who are you working for?

My name is Andrew, I own Boots and I love it. I’m a bartender of 20 years and I love the local community we are located in. As much as I love slinging drinks and making people smile, I need to spend my time developing the team, marketing and organising events to get more people in the door.

I do have a small team of casual FOH staff that could use a hand to continue to grow through training too.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this position.
