Who this role suits — and who may find it hard
The listing looks for people who already have at least two years in restaurant, hospitality or food-service operations and who can supervise and motivate a team. Previous supervisory experience is preferred. An OND, HND, Bachelor’s degree or relevant qualification is listed as an advantage, not a strict must. Basic computer and POS knowledge is also listed as an advantage.
Core competencies named in the listing are time management, teamwork, attention to detail, conflict resolution, leadership, ability to work under pressure, customer service, communication, organisation and problem-solving.
This role is likely to suit someone who is already comfortable on the floor of a busy restaurant or similar food-service setting, can switch between supervising people, checking service quality, handling cash/POS issues and solving customer problems without waiting for constant direction. It may feel difficult for applicants whose experience is limited to pure back-of-house kitchen work with no staff supervision, or for those who prefer a quieter, more predictable pace than a full-service restaurant environment.

- Minimum of 2 years’ experience in restaurant, hospitality or food-service operations.
- Ability to supervise and motivate a team.
- Excellent communication and customer-service skills.
- Good problem-solving and decision-making abilities.

Practical tips for the CV and interview (specific to this role)
These are AlertNaija247 suggestions, not requirements from the employer.
- On the CV, open with a short summary that states your years in restaurant or hospitality operations and any supervisory responsibility you have already held (for example number of staff you guided or shifts you helped coordinate).
- Under each relevant job, replace vague phrases such as “assisted with operations” with concrete actions: monitored service quality during peak periods, prepared duty rosters, handled customer complaints to resolution, reconciled daily sales or cash, or coached new waitstaff on service standards.
- If you have used a POS system or basic computer tools for reports or stock checks, name them clearly — the listing treats this as an advantage.
- Prepare two short examples for interview: one showing how you resolved a customer complaint while keeping service moving, and one showing how you guided a team member who was late, incorrectly dressed, or under-performing.
- Be ready to talk about wastage control or stock monitoring if you have done either — both appear in the listed responsibilities and KPIs.
