About Us
Spawell Service Station is a busy Maxol-licensed forecourt in Dublin 6 West, home to a full food-to-go offer including Insomnia coffee, Burger Project, alongside our deli counter, shop, and car wash. We're a high-volume site serving commuters, locals, and passing trade throughout the day.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Deli Manager to lead our deli and food-to-go operation. You'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the deli — food quality, hygiene standards, stock, rostering, and team performance — while working closely with senior management on wider store operations.
This is a full-time, hands-on management role. You'll be on the floor daily.
Key Responsibilities

Team Management
- Recruit, train, and roster deli staff to match trading patterns and footfall
- Supervise and coach team members, managing performance and conduct issues in line with company policy
- Run daily briefings and ensure staff are confident on food safety, allergens, and customer service standards
Stock & Cost Control
- Manage ordering and supplier relationships for deli ingredients and packaging
- Conduct regular stock takes and control food cost against targets
- Work with senior management on menu changes, promotions, and pricing
Compliance & Reporting
- Maintain full HACCP and food safety documentation
- Ensure compliance with health & safety, allergen labelling, and environmental health requirements
- Report weekly on sales, waste, labour cost, and stock variances to senior management
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience managing a deli, food-to-go, or QSR operation — forecourt or retail food experience is a strong advantage
- Strong working knowledge of HACCP and food safety standards
- Proven people-management experience — rostering, recruitment, and performance management
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-footfall environment
- Financially literate — able to work with cost, margin, and waste figures
- Flexible availability, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends as the role requires
What We Offer
- Competitive salary, based on experience
- Full-time, permanent position
- Opportunity to shape and grow the deli offer within a busy, expanding business
