Our mission at Flat Iron is to make remarkable steak accessible to all. Not just that, we also try to look after all our guests as if they were old friends. Everyone is welcome.

 To do that, we have an amazing team of great people who love what they do and love working at Flat Iron. So much so, that we have been recognised as a Sunday Times Best Place to Work for 2024 in the Big Organisation Category. We have won many other awards but being listed as one of the best employers in the country is something we are incredibly proud of.

• Most importantly - A great culture, amazing people, and a supportive and inclusive environment to grow!
• A bonus scheme, which actually pays out; up to £6,400 for achievement of key metrics
• Earn tronc whilst on holiday
• Work-life balance - We want our managers to be full of enthusiasm and energy on shift, that is why we don’t believe in the dreaded 9 ‘til close.
• Training and development opportunities - personal development plans and internal workshops.

What we’re looking for:

• Passion – You work in hospitality because you care. For you, getting stuck in and living life to the full is more fun than treading water.
• Like an old friend - You are generous, hospitable and you treat guests like old friends. No formality, no upselling, no showing off. Just care, fun, and a little bit of love.
• Straight up - No fuss, no-frills. You are honest, decent, and straightforward with others and with our guests.
• Indie spirit – You are independent in thought and spirit, not tied to what others say you should or shouldn’t do.
