Summary

• We are searching for a dynamic and forward-looking Hostess to serve as the primary ambassador of our fine dining restaurant franchise.
• The ideal candidate will be highly focused on "vibe management" and elite networking, as our clientele often includes high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, and corporate executives.

Primary Responsibilities

• Provide a high-energy, sophisticated welcome (the "Lagos Welcome") that aligns with the restaurant's luxury branding.1
• Use popular platforms to manage bookings, ensuring VIP tables are prioritized and walk-ins are handled discreetly.2
• Optimize the dining room flow by balancing server sections while ensuring high-profile guests are seated in "prime" spots (e.g., booths or lagoon-view tables).3
• Monitor the lighting, music volume, and entryway cleanliness to ensure the "fine dining" atmosphere is maintained from the moment a guest walks in.
• Recognize "regulars" and dignitaries by name, remembering their seating preferences or dietary restrictions to provide personalized service.
• Assist guests with calling Ubers/private drivers, managing coat checks (where applicable), or providing information on local nightlife for after-dinner plans.

Expectations

• The ideal candidate is expected to maintain an impeccable, "red-carpet ready" appearance.
• Must be aware of local social hierarchies, and "Who’s Who" in Lagos is a major asset for managing table assignments for high-profile guests.

Description

• Our restaurant is in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos’s premier hub for luxury and commerce.
• We are looking to engage a Head Barman.
• As a head Barman you will be more than just a drink-maker; you will also play the role of a mixologist, a performer, and a manager.
• In your role, you will make the bar the centerpiece of the restaurant's social scene.

Primary Responsibilities

• Curate a sophisticated cocktail menu that blends international trends with local Nigerian flavours.
• Execute complex drinks using advanced techniques like smoking, fat-washing, or house-made infusions with speed and precision.
• Manage high-value stock, ranging from premium Champagnes to rare Cognacs (X.O. and beyond). Conduct weekly audits to minimize "wastage" or "shrinkage."
• Supervise and mentor junior bartenders and bar-backs. Create the "rota" (shift schedule) and ensure the team maintains high grooming and service standards.
• Occupy the "center stage." Build rapport with Lagos’s elite, recognizing the specific preferences of high-profile "regulars" and corporate "Big Men."
• Ensure that every drink leaving the bar, whether a simple Chapman or a signature Old Fashioned, meets the exact visual and taste standards of the house.

Key Skills & Qualifications
The "VI" Context (Cultural Nuances):

• The "Showmanship" Factor: In Lagos fine dining, presentation is everything. A Head Barman is expected to provide a visual experience—flair (subtle), elegant glassware, and artisanal ice.
• Speed vs. Quality: During "Lagos Nightlife" hours (10 PM – 2 AM), the bar can get incredibly busy. You must maintain fine-dining quality while handling high-volume orders.
• Vendor Relations: In VI, you will often deal directly with brand ambassadors from major distributors (e.g., Pernod Ricard, Moët Hennessy) for activations and exclusive bar takeovers.

Skill Category
Specific Competency for VI, Lagos:

• Product Knowledge: Expert-level knowledge of Premium Spirits (Hennessy, Macallan, Clase Azul) and Wine/Champagne service.
• Social Intelligence: Ability to navigate the high-pressure social environment of VI with charisma and "street-smart" professionalism.
• Financial Literacy: Understanding of "Pour Cost" and gross profit margins to ensure the bar remains a high-revenue center.
• Certifications: WSET Level 1 or 2 (Wine & Spirits Education Trust) is highly desirable for luxury VI venues.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: Typically, N100,000 – N150,000 per month, depending on experience and understanding of the role.
