Restaurant Manager – Café Brunelli

Adelaide, SA | Full-Time | Management Position

Lead the Team. Drive Performance. Deliver Exceptional Hospitality.

Café Brunelli is seeking an experienced, energetic and results-driven Restaurant Manager to take ownership of our day-to-day restaurant operations.

This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who understands hospitality, knows how to build and motivate a strong team, and can confidently manage customer service, staff performance, rostering, costs, food quality and overall business performance.

We are looking for more than someone who simply supervises a shift. We want a manager who can lead from the front, identify problems, implement solutions and help drive the business forward.

The Role

As Restaurant Manager, you will be responsible for:

- Leading and managing the restaurant team across daily operations
- Delivering consistently high standards of customer service
- Recruiting, training, developing and motivating staff
- Preparing efficient rosters and managing labour costs
- Monitoring staff productivity and performance
- Maintaining food quality, presentation and service standards
- Managing stock, ordering, wastage and supplier coordination
- Monitoring sales and identifying opportunities to improve revenue
- Managing customer feedback and resolving issues professionally
- Overseeing opening, closing, POS and cash-handling procedures
- Maintaining excellent cleanliness, hygiene and food-safety standards
- Ensuring compliance with WHS and relevant hospitality requirements
- Supporting promotions, delivery platforms and other initiatives to grow sales
- Working closely with senior management to improve profitability and overall business performance

About You

To succeed in this position,



you will be a confident and accountable hospitality leader who takes pride in running a successful venue.

You will ideally have:

- Proven experience as a Restaurant Manager, Café Manager, Venue Manager or experienced Assistant Manager
- Solid leadership and people-management skills
- Excellent communication and customer-service skills
- Experience with rostering, labour management, stock control and cost management
- A good understanding of restaurant KPIs, sales and profitability
- Robust organisational and problem-solving abilities
- Ability to perform under pressure in a busy hospitality environment
- A hands-on management style — you are willing to step in and support your team when required
- High standards for food quality, cleanliness and customer experience
- Availability across a flexible roster, including weekends where required

Relevant hospitality or management qualifications will be highly regarded; however, strong practical management experience is equally important.

We offer:

- Full-time, stable employment
