Job Description
General Manager / Venue Manager - Premium Hospitality Venue
n
Eastern Suburbs, Sydney | $90K $110k + Super DOE
n
An established and highly regarded hospitality venue in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs is seeking an exceptional General Manager / Venue Manager to lead its front-of-house operation.
n
This is a senior leadership role within a busy, premium venue with a loyal local following and a strong reputation for genuine hospitality.
n
We are not simply looking for someone who can manage a roster, complete administration or work hard on the floor. We need a hospitality operator who can command the entire venue, anticipate what is happening across service and maintain exceptional standards without relying on ownership being present.
n
The Role
n
You will lead the day-to-day front-of-house operation, ensuring service remains polished, efficient and highly attentive through demanding, high-volume periods.
n
You will naturally see the whole room - noticing guests waiting for attention, tables needing clearing, food or beverages being delayed, sections falling behind and bottlenecks developing before they become problems.
n
Rather than becoming absorbed in one task or section, you will constantly reprioritise and direct the team where they are needed most.
n
Responsibilities include:
n
n
Leading and orchestrating high-volume service
n
Maintaining exceptional customer service across the entire venue
n
Directing staff and reallocating resources during busy periods
n
Building relationships with regular guests and delivering personalised hospitality
n
Handling complaints and service recovery confidently
n
Coaching staff during service and addressing poor standards immediately
n
Developing supervisors and future leaders
n
Managing rostering, labour,



productivity and staffing levels
n
Driving sales, table utilisation and operational efficiency
n
Maintaining discipline, accountability and consistent standards
n
Identifying and resolving issues without waiting for ownership direction
n
n
About You
n
You may currently be a General Manager, Venue Manager, strong Restaurant Manager or exceptional Assistant General Manager ready to step up.
n
More important than your current title is your ability to lead a busy hospitality operation.
n
You will bring:
n
n
Strong experience within a high-volume restaurant, premium café, hotel or quality hospitality group
n
Exceptional floor awareness and service instincts
n
The ability to direct a team rather than trying to personally complete every task
n
Strong customer recognition and relationship-building skills
n
Calm, decisive leadership under pressure
n
Proven staff training, coaching and accountability
n
Commercial understanding across labour, wages, productivity, sales and wastage
n
A proactive, ownership-focused approach
n
n
The Opportunity
n
The ultimate measure of success is simple:
n
The venue should operate to the same standard whether the owners are physically present or not.
n
Service, pace, attention, discipline and hospitality should remain consistent because you are leading the operation.
n
This is an opportunity to become an key long-term leader within an established hospitality business and take genuine ownership of its day-to-day performance.
n
Salary: up to $110K + Super, dependent on experience
n
If you are a highly capable hospitality manager who notices the details others miss and genuinely understands what exceptional service looks like, we would like to hear from you.
