Run a busy Crows Nest cocktail bar as if it were your own

Li'l Darlin is a colourful, lively cocktail bar known for great drinks, tapas and pizzas, and guests who keep coming back. We're a small, friendly group of venues, and we're looking for a Venue Manager who wants real ownership: your team, your numbers, your venue.

What you get

- starting from $85,0000 + super
- Performance bonus up to $5,000 based on sales and profit, so the better the venue does, the more you earn
- 5 days a week, 2 rostered days off
- Free meals and drinks on shift, plus a staff discount
- Full say over your roster, ordering, hiring and promotions
- A supportive, hands-on ownership team who back your decisions
- A clear path to grow with us as the group grows

What you'll do

- Lead from the front, on the floor and bar, setting the standard for service every shift
- Recruit, roster, train and coach a team you're proud of
- Own the numbers: sales, COGS and GP margins, wages and end-of-shift controls




- Run promotions and events that bring in new guests and turn them into regulars
- Keep the venue safe, clean and compliant (RSA, OH&S;, food safety)

About you

- You've managed a busy bar or restaurant, or you're a robust assistant or duty manager ready to step up
- You're confident with COGS and labour cost control
- You're energetic, positive and good at getting the best out of people
- You have a current RSA and can work nights, weekends and public holidays
