Operations Manager at Sue Ellen

We're looking for you who wants to run a restaurant. For real. Sue Ellen is a solid, personal and unpretentious neighborhood restaurant on Tulegatan in Vasastan. Here we serve lunch, à la carte, quality drinks and genuine hospitality. We have a restaurant, a large bar, events, an appreciated courtyard – and our own distillery in the house. Now we're taking the next step. And that's why we're looking for an Operations Manager who wants to make their mark on Sue Ellen. This is not a desk job We're not looking for someone who wants to stand on the sidelines and administer the business. You're part of the operations, work in service and are where things happen – among the guests and with the team. At the same time, you have overall operational responsibility for the restaurant. You lead people, create structure and ensure we deliver genuinely great hospitality – every day. And perhaps most importantly: you get to be part of building something. We're currently doing a restart of the operational organization and in many ways starting from scratch. We're therefore not looking for someone who just wants to maintain what already exists. We want to find you – someone who sees opportunities, comes up with ideas and wants to develop how we work together. What will you do? As Operations Manager you get clear overall responsibility for daily operations. This includes: leading and distributing work in the restaurant responsibility for scheduling and staffing within a set budget developing service, hospitality and working methods introducing, coaching and developing staff creating clear routines for daily operations actively working with feedback, follow-up, work environment and team culture close collaboration with kitchen and bar planning and executing events together with other parts of the business ensuring opening, closing and practical operations run smoothly In short: you make sure Sue Ellen runs just as well behind the scenes as it feels in front of them. Who are you? Maybe you're already a Restaurant Manager. But you could just as easily be a really sharp Head Waiter or Assistant Restaurant Manager who's been waiting for the chance to take on bigger responsibility. For us your current title is less interesting than what you can actually do – and where you want to go. We believe you're someone who likes people and gets other people to work well together. You're clear without being rigid, unpretentious without being unclear and confident enough to speak up when something isn't working. You take initiative. You see what needs to be done. And you'd rather not wait for someone else to tell you about it. Above all, you think restaurants are fun. Guests, pace, colleagues, packed tables, unexpected situations and that special feeling when a team really nails an evening. Why Sue Ellen? Because you get the chance to make a real impact. The owners set direction, goals and financial frameworks. But the ambition is for the operational organization to run Sue Ellen independently. That means trust, responsibility and mandate. You'll also be coming in at an exciting time where we want to develop both the organization and the experience. The restaurant, bar and our own distillery should work together even better and Sue Ellen should be a workplace where good people thrive, develop – and hopefully stay for a long time. We can promise you the opportunity to build an even better Sue Ellen together with us.
