You love real cooking. We love real cooking. Customers love real cooking. It's a no-brainer so you wonder why so many other places don't do it. We do it, and you'll be doing it with us - fresh, customer led, and with high-quality ingredients. We also love our real people who run Lounges. The person who runs these brilliant people has to be super-brilliant, and that'll be you. Your standards will be as high as ours, but exactly how you do it will be unique to you.
You'll be doing it your way. You'll be part of a dedicated, supportive team, working from our flexible all-day menu to give people food that'll make their day. It'll be your responsibility to make each dish to spec, in a clean and safe kitchen, and to follow the lead of your Head Chef to make sure all prep and par is completed for each shift. You'll be helping every customer leave happy. Which they tend to do. Thanks to your great food., Lounge is an award winning all-day café and bar and we pride ourselves on having the best hospitality team around. Founded in Bristol in 2002 by three friends who simply wanted to create a neighbourhood café-bar they would want to go to. Lounges are all about community and we encourage our team to make friends of their customers and hold local events and fundraising.

Our managers know that a happy team makes for a happy lounge, so you're their number one priority. We ensure you get solid training so you never feel out of your depth, a meal for each shift worked, and there's plenty of incentives, including trips abroad!
