Venue Manager

Torquay, VIC | $85,000-90,000 base + bonus | Full-time

Open Pantry Co. is recruiting a Venue Manager for a well-established coastal brewery venue in Torquay.

This is a full-ownership role leading a busy seven-day operation - 140 seats, a great tap list and a deck built for the surf-coast lifestyle. If you're an experienced operator ready to run your own venue with the backing of a national group, this is worth a look.

The role

You'll lead the venue and its team end-to-end, own the numbers, and report directly to the Operations Manager. Genuine autonomy to shape the local guest experience, with the systems and support of a larger group behind you.

What you'll own

- Day-to-day leadership of the venue and team across a seven-day trade
- Financial performance: nightly and weekly reporting, monthly performance reviews on revenue, safety and team
- Six-monthly planning: setting objectives, key events and local drivers with your team
- Local initiative: real autonomy over events,



activations and the guest experience, within national brand standards
- A up-to-date operating stack: POS, rostering, bookings, stock and BI tools all in place

What you'll bring

- Proven venue or assistant management experience in a comparable hospitality operation
- Strong commercial head: comfortable owning reporting, rosters and cost control
- A hands-on leader who can build and hold a team through seasonal peaks and quieter months
- Someone who works well with autonomy; you'll run your patch, not wait to be told
- Full working rights in Australia (visa sponsorship is not available for this role)

The offer

Base salary $85,000-90,000, with a performance bonus and full package discussed at interview. A well-loved coastal venue with the support of a national group behind you.
