Hastings, New Zealand Black Barn Bistro Full time

Add expected salary to your profile for insightsRush Cottage Limited t/a Black Barn Bistro sits on the sunny North facing slopes of the Te Mata hills just outside Havelock North in Hawke's Bay. We're determined to be like no other dining experience in Hawke's Bay, and that includes how we treat our guests. Our wood-fired grill sets the tone for the menu – which is all hand-made on the premises and sourced locally and organic wherever possible. The contemporary new interiors are cool, fresh and welcoming. And our people are the same. We don't mind if guests want to drop in for a seat at the bar for a late afternoon catchup with bites and bubbles or linger all day or evening over one of the most exciting menus in the country. Our front of house team needs to match those expectations. Totally professional but with a fresh, friendly relaxed tone to the way our guests are looked after. We'd love to hear from you about a position with us.Who is Black Barn?Black Barn Vineyards is a small New Zealand family owned winery Estate. It was established in 2003 and from the outset always had a focus on attracting visitors to its door rather than simply wholesaling or exporting wine. As part of this plan Black Barn now has 17 luxury retreats under its management, a 2,000-seat amphitheatre in the heart of the vineyard, a summer growers' market, a vibrant kitchen store, a busy cellar door – and of course the Bistro. Black Barn Bistro is a critical anchor to the whole Black Barn philosophy. It's where guests can experience Hawke's Bay at its best, where they get the chance to hear our stories, sample our wines and select from one of the most exciting menus in the country.About the roleWe are looking for a professional, high-energy Maitre'd / Assistant Restaurant Manager, someone with a great personality, excellent communication skills, and an ability to work under pressure.
