Job Description
Lead the team at one of Surry Hills' favourite neighbourhood restaurants About Us /n
Jane, the sister venue to Arthur, is a neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar offering a relaxed and refined take on Australian dining.
/n
Tucked away in the backstreets of Surry Hills, Jane is known for its ingredient-led menu, thoughtful wine and cocktail program, and genuine hospitality.
/n
We’re looking for a capable and committed Restaurant Manager to join our small team and play a key role in the continued development of the restaurant.
The Opportunity /n
This is an opportunity to become an important part of a small, hands-on team and have a genuine influence on the way Jane operates and feels.
/n
You’ll be the person leading the room day to day — working closely with the team to create warm, confident and considered service, while making sure the restaurant runs smoothly behind the scenes. From building a strong team culture and developing your staff, to managing the flow of service and working closely with the kitchen, you’ll have plenty of prospect to make your mark.
/n
We’re also looking for someone with a genuine interest in wine and cocktails . Jane has a considered but approachable beverage offering, and this role will give you the opportunity to have an active hand in shaping it — helping to curate the wine list, develop seasonal cocktails, work with suppliers and build the team's knowledge along the way.
/n
You’ll work closely with the Head Chef and owners, with plenty of opportunity to contribute ideas and improve the way we do things. Whether that’s refining a service,
introducing a new wine, developing a cocktail, improving a roster or finding a better way to look after the team, we want someone who enjoys being involved and taking initiative.
/n
It’s a role for someone who enjoys the balance of hospitality, leadership and creativity — someone who wants to be part of a restaurant rather than simply manage one.

- Build a positive and engaged team culture through training, mentoring and strong day-to-day leadership
/n
- Manage rosters, bookings and guest communications

- Contribute to the curation of the wine list and development of the cocktail offering
/n
- Manage beverage ordering, stock and invoices
/n
- Maintain venue presentation and compliance standards
/n
- Be present and engaged with guests, ensuring a warm and thoughtful experience
/n
What We’re Looking For /n
/n
- 2-3 years' experience in restaurant management or a senior FOH role
/n
- A genuine interest in wine and cocktails
/n
- A confident, hands-on approach to service
/n
- Strong communication and organisational skills
/n
