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 prospect 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 opportunity 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.
