This is the person who runs the room and owns the result.
You'll lead every service, set the standard for how guests are looked after, and be accountable for what the store makes.
Rosters, ordering, stock, compliance, open and close.
But in a venue this size the manager isn't in an office, they're on the floor greeting people, reading the room and showing the team how it's done.
Key responsibilities

where you were properly in charge

You can read a roster against a revenue line and say what should change
You're comfortable running lean and can hold a roster tight while keeping a team properly busy without tipping into pressure
You know your COGS, wastage and labour percentage without having to look them up
You lead from the floor, pouring, greeting and selling alongside your team
You're good with people: hiring, training, and having difficult conversations early
Current RSA and across licensing and compliance for a NSW venue
You're happy working evenings and weekends
Wine knowledge is a bonus, not the point
About us
Valuable Pair Days has spent the last decade taking the pretension and confusion out of wine, matching bottles to what people actually like instead of telling them what they should like.
In October **** we opened our first physical store on Crown St in Surry Hills, part wine bar and part bottle shop.
Getting this one right and profitable is what earns us the next one.
Staff pricing on everything we stock
Wine education on us
A prime Surry Hills location and a team that talks about wine all day
