    Qualifications & Experience

    Food & Beverage Supervisor

    Are you a passionate hospitality professional who loves leading people, creating great guest experiences, and making things happen in a fast-paced environment?

    We’re looking for an enthusiastic Food & Beverage Supervisor to join our team and help deliver outstanding food, drinks, service and experiences across our attraction’s cafés and bars.

    This is more than a role behind the counter. You’ll be a hands-on leader, inspiring your team, driving sales, maintaining exceptional food safety and service standards, and helping the wider attraction run smoothly.

    This is a hands-on role full time position in a lively attraction environment. You’ll need to be comfortable working mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays, depending on operational requirements.

    Responsibilities:

    • Leading and motivating the F&B team to deliver exceptional, guest-focused service.

    • Overseeing café and/or bar operations, including hot food, Starbucks® coffee, snacks, ice cream and cold beverages.

    • Coaching, training and developing team members through feedback, recognition, team building and performance management.

    • Creating effective team schedules and forecasting staffing requirements to meet the needs of the business.

    • Managing stock, inventory, ordering and wastage to ensure excellent cost control.

    • Driving sales and achieving key performance indicators, including spend-per-head targets.

    • Maintaining outstanding standards of cleanliness, presentation, food preparation and hygiene.

    • Ensuring food safety, allergen management, temperature checks and required records are consistently maintained.

    • Completing standards audits and ensuring Merlin Food Safety Standards are met or exceeded.

    • Ensuring team members hold the appropriate food-handling qualifications and that required licences and certifications remain up to date.

    • Using point-of-sale, cost and order-management systems effectively.

    • Resolving guest issues and empowering your team to deliver great guest recovery when things don’t go to plan.

    • Working closely with other attraction departments to respond quickly to operational challenges.

    • Supporting safe and efficient guest flow and queue management during busy periods.

    • Taking Manager-on-Duty shifts, overseeing the wider attraction operation and supporting colleagues across departments.

    • Championing a positive, inclusive and energetic team culture where people can learn, grow and enjoy the ride.

    Experience/Education

    • At least two years’ experience in food and beverage, such as restaurants, cafés or similar hospitality environments.
    • Experience leading or supervising a team.
    • A high school diploma or equivalent; a bachelor’s degree is preferred.
    • A genuine passion for delivering excellent guest experiences.
    • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
    • Experience with POS systems and inventory/sales auditing.
    • The ability to work collaboratively in a busy, fast-moving environment.
    • Excellent organisation skills and the ability to balance competing priorities.
    • A flexible and adaptable approach, with the confidence to introduce and embrace new procedures and systems.
    • A current food safety certification, or the ability to successfully obtain the required certification within 30 days of starting.
    • The ability to obtain any other licences or certifications required for the role.
