    Vacancy for:  Bar Manager – Chengdu, China

    Our organisation:

    We are a foreign-owned bar based in Chengdu. The company is run by two foreigners alongside our current dedicated and professional local staff. We have a customer base that comprises of foreign nationals from many countries with varied backgrounds as well as, of course, a significant domestic clientele.

    Your role as Bar Manager While you will be expected to be able to work independently as directed by the current owners of the company, you will also work alongside the two foreign owners, providing them logistical and organisational support.

    On appointment you will be required to quickly acquire extensive knowledge of the bar and how it works. You will get to know all other personnel and understand the bar’s aims and objectives that focus on excellent customer relations, healthy sales and full external compliance.

    2. Increase revenue. This is closely related to the first point but not the same. It involves the above but also customer retention, in-house marketing, well-trained and friendly staff, good stable products and a comfortable, clean and safe environment. To meet these objectives:

    • You will develop and maintain excellent relationships with existing staff, suppliers and customers. • You will be pivotal in the planning, development and day-to-day management of our company. • You will be accountable to the owners but will take responsibility for many aspects of the operations and marketing of our company. The job is diverse and you will be engaged in duties that range from basic to complex and managerial. This will include errands, recruitment, purchasing, liaison with staff and customers, process and procedural planning, marketing etc. • The hours will be erratic and you will need to flexible.

    You should be:

    • Fluent in English and Mandarin. • Able to work under pressure • Able to work on your own initiative as well as part of a team • Good oral skills in English and Mandarin with the ability to converse with a wide range of people of all ages, nationalities and cultures • Be capable of working flexibly and adaptable to changing situations. • Be prepared to work under instruction and independently.  • Experience of marketing will be a significant advantage. • Computer literate (word and excel) and familiar with Smartphone organising apps) is desired.

    Contract, salary and benefits

    Contract You will be employed on an initial 2 year contract, subject to a three-month probationary period. An offer of employment will be made to the successful candidate following a personal interview.

    Salary & benefits The salary is well above market rates: it is negotiable and will depend on your qualifications and experience. There will also be a sales commission. If you are interested in this position, please send your resume (or CV) and covering letter to [email protected]

    Hi and Hello,

    Just arrived Chengdu last night and hoping to see the night scene off Chengdu. I have been managing bars in Shanghai and decided to change city after five long years in one city.

    Please let me know if this spot is still available and whether or not I can apply.

    I am a Chinese/Filipino mixed raise, with fluency in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Filipino and English.

    Kind regards,

    Richard
