DUTY MANAGER WANTED
Kent Town Hotel | Kent Town, Adelaide | Full-Time
Something big is happening at Kent Town Hotel.
We've taken over the venue and we're bringing everything with us — award-winning food and drink, high‐energy team culture, and the belief that valuable enough is never good enough.
We're part of the Tilley & Wills Hospitality Group, an independent, multi‐award‐winning hospitality group with over 30 years running some of Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane's best‐loved venues, including Aanuka Beach House, Verandah Precinct, Cabana Bar, and now Kent Town Hotel.
As we bring Kent Town Hotel into a new era, we're building a leadership team who can match the ambition — and we're on the hunt for a Duty Manager who can run a shift like a conductor runs an orchestra: calm, sharp and always one step ahead of the chaos.
The Role
You'll be the go-to person on the floor — the one holding the whole venue together, from the moment the doors open to last drinks.
Whether it's a quiet Tuesday lunch or a heaving Friday night, you'll be the steady hand keeping service flowing, the team motivated, and every guest looked after.
This is a hands‐on leadership role for someone who genuinely thrives under pressure and takes real ownership of everything that happens on their shift.
What You'll Be Doing
Running shifts front-to-back — from opening checks and cash float setup through to end‐of‐night reconciliation and lock‐up
Leading, motivating and troubleshooting with the floor, bar and gaming team in real time
Making sure RSA, RCG, WHS and licensing standards are upheld on every single shift,



no exceptions
Handling guest feedback and the occasional curveball with professionalism and a level head
Managing cash handling, security procedures and reporting requirements accurately
Overseeing stock levels, ordering and basic rostering coverage during your shift
Being the calm in the storm when the pub is three‐deep at the bar and the kitchen's slammed
Supporting the wider management team with day‐to‐day operational decisions and escalating issues where needed
You Are
An experienced hospitality leader with a proven track record running high‐volume shifts
Skilled in restaurant and floor management within an à la carte dining environment
Current RSA (mandatory) — RCG highly regarded
A natural problem‐solver with sharp instincts, quick thinking, and a genuinely cool head under pressure
A confident, hands‐on people‐leader who brings the best out of a team, especially on a big night
Reliable, well‐presented, and just as comfortable behind the bar as you are managing the floor
Someone who takes real pride and ownership in the standard of the venue on your shift
Available across a mix of days, nights and weekends, including peak trading periods
The Perks
Full‐time hours with a growing, multi‐award‐winning hospitality group
50% off food & drinks across all Tilley & Wills venues
Real career progression — this is a genuine leadership pathway within the group
Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
The chance to be part of the team relaunching one of Adelaide's most iconic venues
