About this opportunity

We're recruiting a Restaurant Manager for our Dandenong location, with more venues opening as we grow. This is our most senior in-store role, for an experienced hospitality leader ready to take full ownership of a venue and grow with the Munch team.

If you love hospitality, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and take real pride in leading teams and delivering exceptional food and guest experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

The Restaurant Manager is the most senior leader in the store, accountable for the total performance of the venue, team, culture, guest experience, food quality and financial results. You set the tone, hold the standards, and drive the results.

This is a hands‑on leadership role. You'll lead from the floor, coach in real time, and build a strong, accountable team culture. As our venue trades into the evening, this is a full-time, evening-based leadership role across a 7-day operation.

Key responsibilities:

- Leading and developing a high‑performing team

- Owning P&L;, sales performance and cost control (food cost, labour, average spend)

- Rostering effectively and managing productivity

- Driving exceptional guest experience and service standards

- Maintaining food quality, presentation and brand consistency

- Hiring, onboarding and managing performance of team members





- Building and improving the systems and standards that keep the venue running consistently

- Upholding food safety, cleanliness and compliance standards

About you

- Minimum 2 year in a Restaurant Manager role (not shift supervisor)

- Robust commercial awareness — you understand the financial drivers of a venue and can own the numbers

- A quality‑first mindset with no desire to cut corners

- Calm, solution‑focused, and confident holding standards

- Experienced in hiring, training and developing teams

- Passionate about food and consistently great guest experiences

You lead with clarity. You care about the details. You build teams people want to be part of.

Bonus points for:

- Experience opening a new venue or working in a growing multi‑site business

- Dessert, café or fast‑casual background

- Experience building SOPs or operational systems

Why join us

- $75,000–$85,000 base, depending on experience

- KPI‑based performance bonuses tied to the results you control — food cost, labour, and average spend

- A genuine path to Operations Manager as we open new venues

- Structured leadership and business development to grow your management skills

- Real autonomy to run your venue

- Free desserts and drinks
