Full time
Royal Stacks – Moorabbin; Upcoming Second Venue
Full-time | Leadership role | Career progression
Royal Stacks is growing, and we're looking for an experienced, driven and hands-on Assistant Venue Manager to join our leadership team. This is more than a traditional hospitality management role. We're building a strong leadership structure across our Moorabbin and upcoming second venues, with the prospect for the right person to grow into a
Venue Manager and potentially Area Manager
as the business continues to expand.
The Opportunity
We're looking for someone who wants to take ownership. You will initially join the Moorabbin team, working closely with our existing leadership team and receiving structured training across the business. The goal is for you to develop the skills, confidence and operational knowledge required to eventually take responsibility for our second venue, which is planned to open under our management in November/December.
You'll be expected to become someone we can trust to run a venue - not someone who needs to be told what to do every step of the way.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Leading and motivating the venue team during service
Maintaining exceptional food, service, cleanliness and presentation standards
Supporting recruitment, onboarding, training and development of staff
Assisting with staff performance management and accountability
Rostering and managing labour to budget
Monitoring sales, labour, food costs, wastage and overall venue performance
Managing stock, ordering and inventory control
Ensuring food safety, OH&S; and company procedures are consistently followed
Handling customer feedback and resolving issues professionally
Managing opening and closing procedures
Coordinating maintenance and ensuring the venue is always operating at a high standard
Reviewing daily/weekly performance and identifying opportunities to improve the business




Working closely with the owners on operational and commercial targets
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone with genuine leadership ability, not simply someone with a hospitality title. You'll ideally have:
Previous experience as an Assistant Manager, Venue Manager, Restaurant Manager, Supervisor or similar
Experience leading a busy hospitality team
Strong communication and people-management skills
Excellent organisation and attention to detail
The ability to remain calm and make good decisions under pressure
A strong understanding of labour, stock and operational costs
A hands-on approach - you're willing to jump on the floor when the team needs you
Strong accountability and follow-through
A proactive mindset - you see problems and solve them rather than waiting to be asked
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and busy trading periods
Quick-service restaurant or high-volume hospitality experience will be highly regarded.
Most importantly...
We're looking for someone who wants to grow with the business. The ideal candidate will eventually be capable of independently leading a venue, developing their own team and taking responsibility for the venue's operational and financial performance.
As we continue to grow, there is potential for progression into: Assistant Venue Manager to Venue Manager to Area Manager
What We Offer
Competitive salary based on experience
Genuine career progression
Structured training and development
Opportunity to take ownership of a venue
Direct exposure to the owners and business operations
A fast-paced environment where your ideas and initiative are valued
Opportunity to grow with an expanding hospitality group
The Person We're Looking For
If you're someone who:
Leads from the front.
Takes ownership.
Holds yourself and others accountable.
Thinks commercially.
Cares about the customer experience.
And wants to build a career rather than just work another hospitality job - we'd like to hear from you.
