Four-day working week | Major new opening | Sponsorship available

There are restaurant roles you take because the timing is right.

Then there are the ones you know could genuinely move your career forward.

This is the latter.

You may already be leading a hatted, fine-dining or genuinely premium restaurant. Or you may be an accomplished Assistant Restaurant Manager ready for the title, trust and ownership to match.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of the floor of a premium new restaurant from its earliest services — backed by some of the most respected figures in Australian hospitality and with significant press and industry attention surrounding the opening.

The standards will be high. The support will be real. And the working week is four days.

ABOUT THE RESTAURANT A privately backed premium restaurant with significant investment behind the food, fit-out and overall guest experience.

The kitchen is produce-led with a strong focus on live-fire cooking, led by a renowned hatted chef whose career has been spent within highly regarded hatted restaurants.

You will be surrounded by an experienced hospitality and operational leadership team, while having genuine ownership of the front-of-house operation.

This is a high-profile opening with significant press, media and industry interest already surrounding the project.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on, floor-led Restaurant Manager position.

You will take ownership of the service style, standards and day-to-day front-of-house operation, including:

- Leading and developing the front-of-house team
- Setting service standards and maintaining consistency
- Running pre-service briefings and floor plans
- Managing reservations, table flow and pace of service
- Creating a strong connection between the kitchen and floor
- Building relationships with regulars and first-time guests
- Supporting and developing supervisors and Assistant Managers




- Managing rostering, labour, stock, compliance and reporting
- Creating a positive, accountable and professional floor culture

You will have experienced people around you for support, but the room will be yours to lead.
