Are you a self-driven payroll and HR professional who thrives working independently, loves building better systems, and takes real ownership of your department?
If you're confident, hands-on, and ready to run payroll and HR your way — this is the role for you.
About Us
Gennari Group is a Gold Coast hospitality leader operating across 5 venues, with a 6th on the way.
It's an exciting time to join us — we're growing, and we're looking for the right person to bring energy, structure, and fresh thinking to our payroll and HR function as we expand.
About the role
This is a true 2-in-1 role, combining end-to-end Payroll and HR Administration into one position.
You'll need to comfortably move between processing payroll with precision and managing the people side of the business — from onboarding through to termination.
A solid, practical knowledge of the Restaurant Industry Award **** and related employment regulations is essential — it underpins almost everything this role touches.
This role is based at the head office in Broadbeach, supporting all 5 (soon 6) venues centrally — you won't be tied to a single site.
You'll work directly with Head Chefs, Venue Managers, and the Group Operations Team.

Providing analytical payroll reporting for the Operations team

Managing employee relations, including disciplinary processes and performance improvement
Managing WorkCover premiums and claims
Working directly with immigration lawyer on visa sponsorship and compliance
About you
Proven experience in both payroll and HR/employment administration in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
Confidence and experience working independently — you'll be running your own department, so you're comfortable owning outcomes without day-to-day oversight
Strong self-management and organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise competing demands across multiple venues
Prior experience with FoundU or a similar payroll platform highly desirable
Strong working knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, the Restaurant Industry Award ****, and HR best practice
Exceptional attention to detail and strong communication skills
A proactive, solutions-focused approach — you spot problems before they become issues
Solid IT skills, particularly Excel and payroll/HR systems
Benefits
A genuine prospect to be part of opening a brand-new venue from the ground up — shaping payroll and HR processes from day one
Full ownership of your own department, with support when you need it
Your own private office at the brand-new, professionally designed head office in the heart of Broadbeach — central to all venues, not based at a single site
Staff discounts across venues and perks with multiple partner companies
Real opportunities for growth as the business grows
A vibrant, fast-moving hospitality environment
