Domain Botanical Business – South Yarra VIC

Genuine career progression — which means a real pathway, not a vague promise. Our sister venue The Frog Club is already open on Chapel Street, with more venues planned over the next few years. We always look internally first when filling senior bar and management roles, so today’s bartender could be tomorrow’s bar manager.

Staff discounts across all our venues — which means more fun for less money when you want to eat and drink out on your days off.

Real training and development — which means structured onboarding, ongoing coaching behind the bar, and mentoring from managers who are invested in you getting better, including building your wine and beverage knowledge.

Enviable hours — which means we trade 7am to 11pm, so there’s no 3am close and no stumbling home at sunrise. You’ll have a social life you can actually plan.

Stable rosters — which means you’ll know your shifts in advance and can commit to things outside of work with confidence.

Full-time or casual — which means you choose the arrangement that suits your circumstances, rather than us dictating it.
