Vacant job

As a bar manager, you are responsible for the operation and success of the bar at G Swensons Krog, which includes personnel responsibility, supplier contact, scheduling, service level management, and budget. You are largely involved in the daily operations where you work as a bartender and collaborate closely with the restaurant manager, event manager, kitchen manager, and owner.

You are present in the bar every day and are responsible for ensuring a high service level, delivering the drinking experience to all guests in the bar and at the tables, and providing the right service to our regulars. You love working with people, both employees and guests, and you are a magical problem solver, which allows you to organize the work for the employees neatly and simply. You are extremely stress-resistant and are not afraid to jump in and cover for other employees. If a problem arises, it stays with you.

You have overall responsibility for the operation of the bar as a whole, which includes orders, inventory, pricing, drink lists and assortment, preparations, cleaning routines, hiring and training of staff. You are a skilled communicator and have the ability to get others to follow you as a leader. With your strong guest focus and high service level, you lead and inspire your colleagues through good examples and role modeling. Your role is operational, administrative, and strategic. You are responsible for ensuring that all employees follow the existing routines and policies, as well as changing and creating new routines where needed. You lead daily meetings with your team and participate in daily and weekly meetings with the team leaders.

You keep a close eye on worked hours daily, weekly, and monthly, and aim to reduce the number of worked hours compared to last year's statistics while still delivering the same excellent service we are known for.

This is a role that can lead to a full-time position in the future with good benefits.
