Head Bartender (m/f/d)

The Hoxton, Charlottenburg (Berlin) – Head Bartender (m/f/d)

2023 sees The Hoxton take on Europe! We’re popping up in some of our favorite cities and we’ve opened our first hotel in Germany in the city of culture and creativity, Berlin. We are now looking for a Head Bartender to join our team in House of Tandoor, Tea House & Lobby.

Our first Hoxton in Germany is home to 234 bedrooms of varying sizes, a ground floor restaurant and bar, coffee bar and streetside terrace and The Apartment – our unique meetings and events concept. Our restaurant is the meeting of a North Indian communal eatery and a classic European cuisine. It brings together the characteristics of these two traditional restaurants - the tandoor ovens, Indian spices and marinades, select prime cuts of meat, and buzzing atmosphere.

Reporting to our Restaurant & Bar Manager, you will be responsible for serving the guests and make sure they will have a great time.

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.

What you'll do...

• Oversee the daily bar operations, ensuring customer satisfaction and providing support to the team whenever needed.
• Lead the bar team in creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere where guests come to wind down and enjoy themselves.
• Be creative and share ideas to develop our menu – play a part in innovating our bar concept and staying on (and even ahead) of trends.
• Develop and implement strategies to improve performance and profitability.
• Know your product and systems inside & out.
• Lead your team by example, driving service standards that strive for the best for the guest; encouraging your team to grow and develop, the Hox way.

What we're looking for...

• You are flexible to work on rotative shifts and on weekends.  
• Passion for hospitality – you’re all about creating memorable experiences for others, be they guests or colleagues.  
• Fluent in English, good German knowledge, additional languages will be highly valuable.  
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.  
• A people person, you’re confident behind the bar and brilliant with guests. 
• You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.  
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get stuff done.  
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once. 
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs. 
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way. 

What’s in it for you…

• The opportunity to bring an exciting new hospitality concept to Berlin (and Germany) and join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
• 24 holidays (plus bank holidays) and extra time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• Plenty of opportunity for development and rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences and building a portfolio of brands.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Goes without saying, but we’ll feed you when on shift (Pluxee Benefit Card and Vouchers). 
• Great discounts across the entire Ennismore family.
• Lots of opportunity to progress and switch it up as part of a global family of brands.
• Regular team get togethers, from our team drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties – we know how to have a good time!
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
