About Us
n
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
n
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 strong, 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.
