 Our Watford store will offer a new and exciting concept for Debenhams with fabulous offerings that set us aside from our other stores. The store is looking to open in late September with an anticipated start date of mid-August. Working within this store will provide you with great opportunities to really boost your career. It’s going to be an amazing experience and we want you to be a part of it!   Debenhams are on a mission to make shopping confidence-boosting, sociable and fun. Our restaurants play a big part in this and that’s why we want every customer to leave feeling valued, and eager to spread the word.

 

We want to be famous for delivering that unique Debenhams experience – and this starts with our people and the way we all work together.

 

 What you'll be doing...

 

Last year we excitedly launched something very new for our customers and we're delighted to be bringing it to Watford; our new food & drink concept in Debenhams – Loaf & Bloom.

 

There has never been a more exciting time to join the Debenhams Hospitality team. Our food business is evolving, and we’re looking for an experienced Assistant Restaurant Manager to join the team. Our aim remains a simple one; to offer delicious food, in a welcoming environment, with the friendly and efficient service that our customers expect.

 

What you will bring...

 

The Assistant Restaurant Manager leads by example when it comes to demonstrating the highest service standards, and drives the team to create a customer experience to be proud of. You will be central to managing the day to day organisation of the restaurant, ensuring resource is in the right place at the right time, whilst all the while ensuring the all-round operation runs seamlessly each day. We have opportunities both front of house and back of house.

 

The role requires a strong combination of excellent leadership skills, a passion for hospitality and great organisational ability, always with the customer in mind.

  • So if supporting a team to deliver great hospitality is what you’re good at and enjoy, then we want to hear from you.
 

When you'll be doing it...

 

Our stores are open 363 days a year, and we want our customers to enjoy a seamless experience whenever they choose to visit. We operate a seven day shift pattern, and this role will require you to have the flexibility to work 5 variable days per week.
