About the Venue
Picture the room about twenty minutes before the doors open.
The kitchen is fully open, so you can hear it warming up. Pans start moving, the grill catches, and the smell of something good drifts across a dining room that’s still quiet. Your team is lined up for briefing. The bookings are full, there’s a big group in the private room, and everyone knows tonight is going to be a good one.
Then the doors open and the place comes alive. Every table is full, the bar is loud and the floor is moving fast, but it all feels under control because you’re running it.
That’s the job.
A much-loved, family-owned Sydney restaurant group is opening a new flagship in the CBD. This group has been doing it properly for a long time. They care about great produce, cooking you can watch, and service that’s warm without being stiff. The current space is big and beautiful. It’s polished enough for a special night out and relaxed enough that people keep coming back.
They need two Assistant Restaurant Managers to help open it.

What you’ll do
You’ll be the person the floor looks to on shift. You’ll run services, read the room, keep the pass and the floor in step, and jump into a section when it gets busy. Before opening you’ll help train the team on the menu,



the wine and how service should feel, so the culture is right from the first night. After that it’s about the details: pacing, briefings, labour, upselling, and looking after regulars like they’re friends.

Who you are
You’ve been an ARM, Assistant Manager or senior Supervisor somewhere premium and busy. You’d rather be on the floor than behind a desk. You know your food and wine well enough to talk about them easily, and when things get hectic you stay calm. People like working for you because you’re fair, you’re clear and you’re always there.
Opening experience, private dining or some wine training would be great, but it matters less than the right attitude.
