We are looking for three dedicated and experienced Restaurant Managers to join our team and oversee the daily operations of our club restaurants, The Terraces and Tasi, and our sister restaurant, Mikro Nisi.
The ideal candidates should have a strong background in restaurant management, excellent leadership skills, and a passion for delivering exceptional service.
The Terraces, open for lunch and dinner, seats around 80 covers with a menu featuring dishes cooked on the barbeque and fire table.
Tasi is open daily for breakfast, serving a balance of healthy options and old favourites and also provides an informal setting for lunch with Mediterranean bistro-style dishes which can be enjoyed with a bottle of wine and a stunning view of the Ionian sea.
The most recent addition to the Peligoni family is Mikro Nisi, a short drive along the coast from the club – a modern Greek fish taverna open for lunch and dinner daily with a sharing, mezze style menu inspired by local ingredients and it’s seafront setting.
This is a challenging role that requires a passion for great service, commitment to the club’s ethos and the ability to manage a team with varied experience in what can often be a high-pressure environment.
