- Ensuring labour, payroll and operational costs are effectively controlled.
- Creating a positive and engaging culture where colleagues can perform at their best.
- Acting as a visible and approachable leader for guests and team members alike.
- Supporting the General Manager in delivering business goals and operational excellence.
What You Will Bring
