Restaurant Manager

We’re looking for a Restaurant Manager to join our team in Four Corners and Lobby Bar at The Hoxton, Poblenou!

The Hoxton Poblenou in the city of Barcelona is our 11th Hoxton. The hotel boasts 240 bedrooms of different sizes, a large restaurant Four Corners with The Slice shop and La Bodega, a rooftop pool and our taqueria Tope, a bright and airy lobby, a multi-functional basement events space and The Apartment (our unique meetings & events concept).

Four Corners brings the energy and attitude of New York with quick slices of thick crust, Detroit-style pizza at The Slice Shop or lighter Italian-American inspired dishes, perfect for a long lunch or dinner that rolls into late-night cocktails and natural wine.

More about us...

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

Reporting to the Director of F&B, you will be responsible to manage the daily restaurant and bar operations for our Four Corners Restaurant and Lobby Bar, maintain sanitation standards and assist servers and hosts during service. Strive to continually improve guest and employee satisfaction and maximize the financial performance in areas of responsibility.

This will be our 11th Hoxton and the hotel boasts 240 bedrooms of different sizes, a large restaurant and deli shop, a rooftop restaurant and pool, a huge basement events space and The Apartment (our unique meetings & events concept).
