Job Description
Back of House Manager, Full Time, Wood-Fired Pizza, Arana Hills
n
We're looking for someone to own the kitchen.
n
The Wood Fired Oven is a family run wood-fired pizza business in Arana Hills. We started in **** with one food truck in a local park. Now there's the restaurant plus a truck running Bardon, Ashgrove and Alderley each week, and a catering arm that keeps growing.
n
Everything is made from scratch. Our own dough, fermented around 48 hours, Caputo flour, cooked over spotted gum and ironbark. We make our own gluten-free dough in house too, and we take cross-contamination seriously because it matters to a lot of our customers.
n
This is the first time we've run the BOH Manager role as a permanent full time position. That's a deliberate step for us, and it means whoever takes it gets to shape it.
n
What the job actually is
n
You run the back of house. Dough and gluten-free dough Tuesday through Friday, prep, sauces, the grill, deliveries in and checked, and the kitchen clean and organised at the end of every night.
n
You also lead the BOH crew. Setting the standard, training them properly, and getting the best out of a young team. Most of our casuals are school and uni age, and a good chunk of what makes this business work is turning them into capable people. That's the part of the job we care most about.
n
You'll work directly with Chris and Lorelle, the owners. Not through three layers of management. If you spot something that's broken, you say so and we fix it.
n
Who we're after
n
You've worked in a fast kitchen. Pizza would be ideal, but anything high volume and hands-on translates.
n
Management experience is what we're after,



though we're realistic about it. If you've run a section, led a shift, or trained people and want to step up properly, we'd rather back someone with the right attitude and grow them than hire someone with a bigger title and the wrong approach.
n
What isn't negotiable:
n
You lead from the front. On a Friday night you're on a station, not watching from the pass
n
You care about consistency. A pizza on a quiet Tuesday should be the same as one at 6:30pm Saturday
n
You're calm when it's flat out
n
You're good with young staff. Patient, transparent, and you actually want to teach
n
Dough experience is a big plus. If you haven't made it from scratch before, we'll teach you, but you'll need to want to learn it properly.
n
The details
n
Full time, 38 hours a week, Tuesday to Saturday. Permanent position with a standard probation period. A typical week looks like this.
n Tuesday *********pm then *********pm
n Wednesday & Thursday **********pm then 3.45p-8.15pm
n
Friday **********pm then **************pm
n Saturday **************pm
n However for this role some adjustment to these hours will be discussed.
n
Based at the Arana Hills restaurant.
n
Food handling certificate required. If you don't have a current one it's done online in about an hour before you start.
n
The honest bit
n
We're a small business. Some weeks are messy, the systems aren't perfect, and you'll be asked to help fix them rather than just work around them. If you want a polished corporate kitchen with everything already sorted, this isn't it.
n
If you want a job where your opinion actually changes how things get done, it is.
