Cafe Manager - Wrexham

This is a start-up opportunity within an established business.

As Caf Manager, you'll play a key role in bringing a brand-new site to life - setting standards, building a team, and shaping how the caf looks, feels, and operates from the very beginning.

If you've managed a caf , retail unit, or fast-paced food operation before, this is your chance to truly make it your own.

You'll lead from the front, set the tone, and turn a brand-new caf into a space people love - from the first morning coffee rush to the final close-down of the day.

What You'll Be Doing

Leading the day-to-day running of a newly opened caf , keeping everything smooth, organised and on point

Recruiting, training and developing a strong team that delivers great service (and enjoys doing it)

Setting and maintaining high standards across food, coffee and presentation

Managing stock, performance and operational processes

Creating a space that feels warm, relaxed and welcoming from day one

Embedding consistency - because the little details matter

Ensuring Health & Safety standards are always met and maintained

If you've run a caf , retail unit, or fast-paced food environment, you're well-suited to this role - especially if you enjoy building teams and shaping operations.

You'll also be:

A hands-on leader who sets the pace and leads by example

People-focused - great with both your team and your customers

Organised, proactive and calm under pressure

Passionate about good food, great coffee and doing things properly

Comfortable taking ownership and continuously improving performance

You'll have real ownership, support from a wider business, and the opportunity to build something that genuinely feels like yours from the ground up.
