Venue Manager - Catering & Clubhouse Operations
Strathfield Golf Club | The Fresh Collective
$120,000–$130,000 + super | Full-time
This is not your typical Venue Manager role.
The Fresh Collective is looking for an experienced hospitality leader to take ownership of our food and beverage operations at Strathfield Golf Club, while also providing operational leadership across key areas of the broader Clubhouse experience.
It's a diverse operation – a busy seven-day Bistro, Halfway Kiosk servicing golfers and a substantial events business including corporate functions, celebrations, golf days and regular last-minute wakes.
Alongside the Fresh operation, you'll provide leadership and oversight across the Clubhouse Bar and Reception, helping create a consistent, welcoming experience for members and guests throughout the venue.
The role
You'll be responsible for:
Overall management of Bistro 18, Halfway Kiosk and catering operations
Leading, coaching and developing the Fresh FOH team and supervisors
Operational delivery of large functions, golf days and last-minute events
Bistro bookings and planning for large groups
Rostering, labour, stock, COGS and financial performance
Driving service standards, member engagement and revenue growth
Providing operational leadership across the Clubhouse Bar and Reception
Coaching and developing the Club-employed Bar Manager and Reception team
Improving presentation, cleanliness, efficiency and consistency across guest-facing areas
Working collaboratively with Club management, Golf, Memberships, Events and other stakeholders
Acting as Approved Manager/Licensee as required
About you
You're an experienced hospitality leader who is comfortable with a broad remit and enjoys being part of the operation.
You'll bring:
Strong restaurant, club, hotel or multi-outlet management experience
Demonstrated experience managing large functions and events
Strong FOH leadership and a genuine understanding of excellent service
Commercial confidence across labour, COGS, revenue and profitability
Experience developing managers and building accountable teams
Strong organisation and a practical, solutions-focused approach
The confidence to work with senior stakeholders and build genuine relationships with members and regulars




Current NSW RSA plus NSW Approved Manager or Licensee accreditation, or eligibility and willingness to obtain it
What's in it for me?
$120,000–$130,000 + super, depending on experience
A broad role with genuine autonomy and scope to make an impact
The opportunity to shape and improve an established operation rather than simply maintain it
A diverse working week across Bistro, events, golf and Clubhouse operations
Support from an experienced Fresh Collective operations, events, culinary and support team
Opportunities for career development and career progression across The Fresh Collective
Staff benefits and discounts across Fresh Collective venues
A role where good ideas, initiative and getting things done are genuinely valued
This is a great prospect for an experienced operator who enjoys developing people, improving businesses and creating the kind of hospitality that keeps members and guests coming back
