A family-owned Italian trattoria in Cairns needs a Restaurant Supervisor to take charge of the dining room. Trading open-air from breakfast to late every day, the business pairs home-style cooking with a wine list that is central to the experience, so the employer wants someone who can steer a shift, back the staff and take ownership of each guest visit.

Applicants must hold full Australian work rights, and the employer states that sponsorship is available for the right candidate. The owners are offering a direct path into management, and the supervisor will learn how the restaurant runs commercially along the way.

Employers filling roles like this look hard at your floor leadership history, so make sure your CV lists the venues you supervised and your liquor licences.

- Direct service in the dining room, coordinating reservations, table pacing and the kitchen pass
- Define service expectations and give staff real-time coaching
- Present the wine list to guests,



recommending bottles and pairings, and train staff on it
- Complete closing duties such as cash-up and daily checklists
- Build management capability through rostering, staff training, stock and ordering

- Ideally 2+ years in a supervisory or senior floor position at a quality, high-volume restaurant
- Solid wine knowledge, able to discuss styles, regions and food pairings comfortably
- Eagerness to keep learning about wine
- A solid picture of excellent service and the consistency to hold that standard on a big night
- A current Queensland RSA and RMLV, or a willingness to complete the RMLV on the way to management
- Availability across a seven-day roster, nights, weekends and public holidays included
- Full Australian working rights
