Treaty City Brewery is one of Ireland’s most exciting independent craft breweries — and we’re proud of it. Based on Nicholas St, we brew great beer, run a thriving bar and events space, and serve a busy daytime trade that keeps the doors buzzing from 8am. That means great coffee, freshly baked scones, hearty toasties — and plenty of our own beer poured to guests who appreciate the setting as much as the pint.
We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Food & Hospitality Manager to take ownership of that daytime offering — leading the team, maintaining quality, managing our Childers Road Prep Kitchen, and delivering exceptional guest experiences every day.
This is a hands-on leadership role with real scope to shape our daytime offering, mentor a talented team, and grow with us as we build the Treaty City brand. You’ll bring the standards and energy of a great hospitality manager — and you’ll thrive in an environment where craft beer is at the heart of everything we do.

Customer Excellence
- Set the standard for customer service and lead by example on the floor every day

Food, Coffee, Beer & Quality
- Oversee daily production of our daytime food offering — scones, toasties, and rotating specials
- Maintain high standards across the coffee offering — consistency, quality, and presentation in every cup
- Support the team in delivering our beer offering to the same high standard — product knowledge, serve quality, and pride in what we pour
- Ensure food and drink quality is never compromised — from preparation through to how it lands on the table
- Hold the line on cleanliness, venue presentation, and the overall guest environment
- Ensure full compliance with food safety, hygiene, and HACCP standards
- Develop seasonal specials that keep the menu interesting and reflect what we do well
