Food & Beverage Supervisor – Blacksmith Bar & Grill

voco Melbourne Central | IHG Hotels & Resorts

Good food, great people and a little voco magic.

At voco, we like to do things a little differently. We're warm, welcoming and never too stuffy, and we believe the best guest experiences start with a team that genuinely enjoys what they do.

We're looking for a Food & Beverage Supervisor to join our team at Blacksmith Bar & Grill, our signature restaurant and bar in the heart of Melbourne CBD.

From a relaxed lunch to a buzzing dinner service, a well-made cocktail at the bar or a busy conference or special event, you'll help bring it all together. Working closely with our Food & Beverage Manager, you'll be hands-on in the day-to-day running of the operation, supporting the team, keeping service flowing and making sure every guest feels well looked after.

If you're a natural people person who loves being on the floor, enjoys a bit of variety and knows how to bring out the best in a team, we think you'll fit right in.

A little more about the role

No two days are quite the same, and that's part of the fun! You'll be involved in all aspects of our Food & Beverage operation, including:

- Keeping things running smoothly: Support the Food & Beverage Manager with the day-to-day running of Blacksmith Bar & Grill, across restaurant, bar and event operations.

- Bringing the restaurant to life: Lead lunch and dinner service, making sure everything runs seamlessly and our guests leave with a great impression.

- Making the bar your own: Support bar operations and help deliver a welcoming, lively atmosphere, with great drinks and service to match.

- Making events happen: Coordinate food and beverage service for meetings, conferences, private functions and events, from setup right through to pack-down.

- Leading by example: Be present on the floor,



support your team during busy services, delegate tasks and make sure everyone knows what they're doing.

- Helping people grow: Get involved in team briefings, on-the-job training and coaching, creating an environment where people feel supported and confident.

- Looking after our guests: Build genuine connections, handle feedback with care and find solutions when things don't go to plan.

- Taking care of the details: Assist with stock control, cash handling, opening and closing procedures and keeping our outlets looking their best.

- Being a great teammate: Work closely with our kitchen and hotel teams to keep communication flowing and deliver a seamless guest experience.

- Finishing on a high: Oversee end-of-service and closing procedures, ensuring the restaurant and bar are properly closed and ready for the next day.
