Sydney
$120K + Superannuation + Car Allowance
The opportunity to join a fast-growing, multi-site hospitality business in a high-impact Training Manager role, working directly with the COO and taking ownership of culinary standards, training and capability across a national restaurant network.
This is a seriously hands-on role for someone who loves food, loves developing people and wants to have a genuine impact across an entire business.
The Role:
- Own the national training & capability strategy, building frameworks, programs and pathways that actually work in the restaurant environment.
- Be the guardian of food quality, driving consistency across recipes, portioning, cook times, presentation, accuracy and flavour.
- Get out from behind the desk - spend the majority of your time in restaurants, coaching teams through live service and demonstrating best practice.
- Partner with the COO and senior Operations team to identify capability gaps, lift performance and embed consistent standards across the network.
- Lead training and readiness for recent restaurant openings, menu launches and major operational initiatives.
- Work across both corporate and franchise restaurants, influencing leaders and teams at every level.
Experience & Responsibilities:
- 4+ years' hospitality experience, ideally with a strong chef / culinary background and genuine frontline credibility.
- Proven experience across training, capability, L&D; or multi-site operations, ideally within QSR, hospitality or retail.
- Strong understanding of what great kitchens look like - from food quality and execution through to service, safety and operational standards.
- A natural coach and influencer, with the confidence to challenge, develop and bring people along with you.
- Strong stakeholder skills, comfortable partnering with Restaurant Managers, Area & Regional Managers, Franchise Partners and senior leadership.
- Experience with LMS platforms, competency frameworks, audits, openings or menu rollouts will be highly regarded.
The Benefits & Why You'll Love this role:
- A genuinely high-impact national role with the opportunity to shape how an entire restaurant network trains and operates.
- Direct partnership with the COO and senior Operations leadership team
- The freedom to build, improve and own the training and capability function rather than simply deliver someone else's playbook.
- A role that gets you into restaurants and onto the floor, working directly with teams and seeing the impact of your work.
- Exposure to growth, new openings, menu innovation and major operational projects across a growing hospitality business.
- Sydney or Melbourne-based with regular national travel — perfect for someone who thrives on variety and doesn't want to be stuck behind a desk.
If you're a trainer or multi-site hospitality operator who gets excited by great food, great people and high standards, this is an opportunity to make a serious impact.
Excited? You should be!
