Checho’s is Sydney’s quick-growing Mexican bar and restaurant brand, famous for bold food, creative cocktails and an unforgettable atmosphere.

What started in Penrith has grown rapidly, with venues now operating across Penrith, Camden, Castle Hill, Cronulla and Wollongong and multiple new locations across Sydney opening before the end of the year.

With continued expansion ahead, we’re looking for an experienced Operations Manager to help lead our venues, develop our management teams and drive the next stage of Checho’s growth.

You’ll work closely with our Venue Managers to ensure every location delivers the same high standard of food, drinks, service and atmosphere.

This isn’t a desk job. We’re looking for someone who is present in the venues, leads from the front and knows how to build strong teams and successful restaurants.

With multiple new Checho’s locations opening before the end of the year, you’ll also play a major role in new venue openings, recruitment, training and establishing strong operational systems from day one.

- Support the opening and launch of multiple new Checho’s locations.
- Plan and execute events, functions and brand activations.
- Build a strong team culture focused on performance, accountability and retention.
- Identify operational issues quickly and implement solutions across the group.

- Oversee established venues across Penrith, Camden, Castle Hill, Cronulla and Wollongong.
- Be directly involved in multiple new store openings before the end of the year.
