Nestled in the vibrant heart of Torquay and just a stone’s throw from the iconic Bell's Beach, 4 Pines Torquay is a coastal-inspired craft beer venue that's as fresh and welcoming as the beers we pour.

We’re the beer brand born from a Brewpub in Manly beach 16 years ago, so hospitality runs deep in our veins. We’re as passionate about creating vibrant and exciting venues as we are about slinging beers and we’re bringing our love for everything hospo to our mates in Torquay.

We’re looking for a motivated, energetic, and engaged Venue Manager for our iconic Torquay venue who is keen to grab the reins and build on the venue’s solid reputation, taking it to the next level and beyond. Our operations will run 7 days a week for lunch and dinner with a seating capacity of 140pax.

You’ll be supported and guided by an experienced Hospo Operations Manager, but will ultimately have full responsibility over the venue, its day to day operations and the team. Your previous experience, hands-on approach will put you as a front runner for the position. Ideally, you’ll be keen to jump in and get busy, want to stick around for a while, have some legendary banter and be a excellent cultural fit. An immediate start is available for the right candidate.

As a successful candidate…

- You’re a lover of all things hospitality, culture and people (both that work for us, and those that drink with us).

- You have a desire to be hands on and operational in venue - this isn’t a desk job. Although there are aspects of the role that require alignment and understanding for strategic goals and direction and admin work, this is an old-fashioned Hospitality role, ensconced in the local community.

The Role:

- Management of venue; including (but not limited to) cost control, labour management, P&Ls;, marketing insight and activations, KPIs/targets.

- Driving the venue with a lot of headroom for maximisation.

- Instill and foster the 4 Pines core values and personality traits within the team.

- Hands-on and operational role working alongside a close-knit team of staff to develop, train and upskill.

- Ensuring compliance with liquor licensing, council regulations, food safety, WHS and other relevant legislative instruments.

- Approved Manager (Liquor License).

- Pragmatic approach to problem solving and troubleshooting.
