Restaurant Supervisor

About the Company

West to West Kitchen is a celebrated restaurant located in the center of Abu Dhabi. The business specializes in Sierra Leonean, Trinidadian, and Jamaican cuisine, with a focus on sharing culture, creating memorable experiences, and fostering community through food.

In addition to its shop-based operations, the company also delivers food and beverage services at major sports and cultural occasions, such as the Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix, the Emirates Airline Dubai Sevens, Sole DXB, and the 2025 Coldplay concerts, among other events.

The team is expanding and is seeking enthusiastic people to help oversee shop operations in a shared Supervisor arrangement.

About the Role

This is a shared Supervisor position. You will partner with another Supervisor to manage the team and ensure day-to-day operations run efficiently. Duties are split and rotated so both Supervisors can uphold strong standards without becoming overextended.

The role suits someone with hospitality experience who wants to stay actively involved in both food and people management, without carrying full management accountability. It is also a strong opportunity for someone who wants to develop within the business and take on greater responsibility over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver excellent guest service, support food preparation, and carry out quality checks to the company's standards.
• Manage stock levels, inventory control, ordering, suppliers, and delivery coordination.
• Handle cash, operate the POS system, manage opening and closing duties, and complete daily cash reconciliation.
• Maintain HACCP documentation, follow hygiene standards, and complete Supervisor Standards Checks.
• Update weekly Xero records, maintain cash-up spreadsheets, and manage supplier invoices through Hubdoc.
• Prepare team rosters, conduct briefings, and provide day-to-day leadership.
• Attend off-site events when required.

What We Are Looking For

• A strong enthusiasm for food and hospitality.
• Good spoken and written English, solid numerical ability, and comfort handling basic financial administration using tools such as Xero and Hubdoc, as well as POS systems.
• Confidence to guide and support a team.
• Prior experience in hospitality or quick-service restaurants.
• Exposure to African and/or Caribbean food and culture will be considered an advantage.

West to West Kitchen provides a Supervisor Training Programme that includes learning how to prepare every item on the menu, as well as any new concepts introduced later.

The programme also covers ADAFSA health and safety procedures, including HACCP Level 3 training, Pathway to Leadership development to become an effective team member and Supervisor, and First Aid training.

Compensation and Benefits

The starting pay is AED 2,600 per month. During the 3 to 4 month training programme, this increases to AED 4,000 per month, with salary increments awarded after each successfully completed stage. Additional pay increases may be offered based on performance and length of service.

Benefits include health insurance, visa support, and meal benefits.
