New Restaurant Opening jobs in Swindon

Front of House Team MemberIntroduction to the role

We’re looking for a motivated, friendly and passionate team member to join us as a Front of House Team Member. Based at our Cotswolds coffee roastery just outside Cirencester, you’ll be an important part of our café team, helping us deliver a welcoming, efficient and high-quality experience for every customer who walks through the door.

This role is ideal for someone who loves hospitality, takes pride in providing great customer service and enjoys working in a busy, fast-paced café environment. You’ll be customer-facing throughout your shift, making sure our guests feel welcomed, looked after and leave wanting to come back.

We’re looking for someone who has an eye for detail, takes a hands-on approach and isn’t afraid to get stuck in. You’ll work closely with the wider café, kitchen and coffee teams to keep service running smoothly and to a consistently high standard.

This can be either a part-time or full-time role, with weekend availability expected.

More about us

We’re a fast-growing speciality coffee roastery based in the Cotswold countryside, just outside of Cirencester.

Alongside our roastery, we have a busy café serving speciality coffee, brunch and other food and drinks. We also work closely with partners across the country — predominantly independent coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and food service groups — helping them serve the highest quality coffee through consultancy, education, barista training and equipment support.

We’re passionate about great coffee, great food and great hospitality, and we love being part of the speciality coffee industry. We’re looking for someone who shares our passion for creating a genuinely great customer experience and wants to play a part in the continued growth of our business.

The ideal team member should be:

• Friendly, approachable and passionate about hospitality and customer service.
• Experienced in a busy café, restaurant or hospitality environment, although we’re happy to consider someone with the right attitude and willingness to learn.
• A hands-on team player who enjoys working as part of a busy team.
• Confident communicating with customers and able to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
• Motivated and able to use their own initiative without always needing to be told what needs doing.
• Willing to be flexible and get stuck in wherever needed — whether that’s serving customers, running food, clearing tables, supporting the bar or helping with cleaning.
• Able to work calmly and efficiently during busy periods.
• Someone who takes pride in their work and has a strong eye for detail.
• Able to work well both independently and as part of a small team.
• Reliable, punctual and committed to maintaining high standards.

As a Front of House Team Member, you will be responsible for:

• Providing a warm, friendly and welcoming experience for every customer.
• Taking customer orders and confidently explaining our food, drinks and speciality coffee offering.
• Running food and drinks to tables efficiently and accurately.
• Keeping tables clean, tidy and presented to a high standard throughout service.
• Ensuring the café floor and customer areas are always clean, organised and welcoming.
• Supporting the coffee bar and kitchen teams during busy periods.
• Helping to maintain a smooth and efficient service from opening through to closing.
• Handling customer questions and requests confidently and professionally.
• Dealing with any customer concerns in a calm and positive manner, escalating when necessary.
• Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and presentation across the café.
• Completing opening and closing tasks and checklists to the required standard.
• Supporting with cleaning and end-of-day close-down duties.
• Learning about our coffee, food and products so you can confidently talk to customers about what we offer.
• Working as part of the wider team to ensure service standards remain consistently high.
• Taking responsibility for your own section and proactively identifying what needs doing during service.
• Helping create the friendly, relaxed and premium atmosphere that we want customers to associate with Fire & Flow.

What we can offer you:

• The chance to work closely with an experienced and passionate team with years of experience in the speciality coffee and hospitality industry.
• The opportunity for career growth and development within an exciting and fast-growing coffee roastery and café.
• Training and development to improve your knowledge of speciality coffee, food and hospitality.
• The opportunity to learn new skills across the café, including coffee, customer service, food and operations.
• Team discounts on merchandise, beans, brewing equipment and all the coffee you could drink to get you through the day!
