Restaurant Manager Jobs in Sheffield S1 — Immediate Start with Catering Jobs
Catering Jobs is recruiting an experienced Restaurant Manager for an immediate temporary placement in Sheffield S1. This is a practical, fast-moving opportunity for a hospitality professional who can lead service, support a Waiter/Waitress team, coordinate with kitchen staff, and keep guests coming back. The role is ideal for candidates seeking an ASAP start, competitive pay, flexible shifts, and ongoing work for the right candidate.
Job Description
The Restaurant Manager will take responsibility for the smooth running of a busy Sheffield S1 venue during service. You will be the point person on the floor, guiding front-of-house staff, managing guest expectations, resolving issues quickly, and making sure every table receives consistent, high-quality service. The employer is a well-established catering and hospitality business that values calm leadership, strong communication, and a practical approach to daily operations.
As a Restaurant Manager, you will work closely with the Waiter/Waitress team, Restaurant Assistant colleagues, kitchen leaders, and suppliers to keep service flowing. This is not a desk-based management role. It is a hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys being visible, supporting the team, and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Through Catering Jobs, you can access this immediate start role while also building relationships with local employers who regularly hire experienced hospitality staff.
We are working with a trusted temporary catering staff agency model, so applicants can expect clear communication, fast registration, and reliable support from our team. If you are already working in Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield, or nearby areas, this role may suit your commute and availability. Our catering recruitment team is focused on matching people to roles where they can perform well and feel confident from day one.
Key Responsibilities
As the Restaurant Manager, your day-to-day duties will include a mix of team leadership, guest service, rota support, and operational control. The venue needs someone who can stay organised during busy periods while keeping the atmosphere warm and professional.
- • Lead, coach, and support the Waiter/Waitress team during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and event services, making sure service standards remain consistent even when the restaurant is busy.
- • Open and close the restaurant, checking cleanliness, stock, tables, glassware, linen, lighting, and service readiness before guests arrive and after the final table leaves.
- • Manage reservations, table plans, waiting times, and guest flow to keep service calm, efficient, and welcoming even during peak hours.
- • Work with kitchen teams to coordinate orders, specials, allergens, delays, and quality control at the pass, helping front-of-house and back-of-house stay aligned.
- • Handle guest feedback professionally, turning complaints into recovery opportunities while protecting the venue’s reputation and encouraging positive reviews.
- • Train new staff, including Restaurant Assistant members, on service standards, safety, upselling, hospitality etiquette, and the venue’s preferred way of working.
- • Monitor stock levels, place orders, reduce waste, and support cost control without compromising guest experience or team morale.
- • Keep rota coverage organised, support flexible shifts, and respond quickly to last-minute absences, urgent demand, or short-notice event bookings.
- • Ensure compliance with food safety, hygiene, licensing, health and safety, and customer service policies, keeping records where required.
- • Report daily results, staffing issues, guest trends, and operational improvements to the wider management team so the venue can plan ahead with confidence.
