We are looking for a full or part time passionate, big personality and energetic Shift Manager who can help us to lead from the front and create exceptional dining experiences at our new (Winchester) fresh pasta restaurant.

Picture this: we'll have chefs making fresh pasta in the window of the restaurant to entice the good people of (Winchester) in. There'll be the hippest Italian funk and jazz on stereo, the smell of ragù in the air, fresh pasta making classes in-house, drivers buzzing about on our beautiful terracotta Vespas, and much more. As Shift Manager, you'll lead by example, overseeing operations during your shift and fostering a positive environment where our passion for authentic Italian cuisine shines through.
