Hospitality Leaders | Venue Manager & Assistant Manager | 4-Day Roster

Want a premium hospitality leadership role that genuinely respects your lifestyle? Work hard for 4 days, then enjoy a guaranteed, consecutive 3 days off every single week to rest and recharge.

We run two of Wollongong's most exciting and distinct dining concepts: Debutant and Ruki. We are expanding our leadership team and hunting for two exceptional, hands-on floor generals to drive our venues forward.

We don't do "office-only" management. Our leaders are the face of our businesses, thriving on the floor and working side-by-side with our teams during peak services. Whether you are a seasoned leader ready to run a fast-paced space or an ambitious 2IC looking for a big, rewarding challenge with variety, we have a space for you.

The Opportunities Available

1. Venue Manager – Ruki (Wednesday to Saturday Roster)

- The Venue: A sleek, fast-paced, high-standard dining concept.

- The Role: Take full operational ownership of the venue. You will mentor the front-of-house team, manage rosters, drive wage efficiencies, and control COGS.

- The Support: You will be backed by a reliable, established Assistant Manager already on site who owns the Sunday services, meaning your Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays are completely yours.

2. Group Assistant Manager / 2IC – Debutant Base (4-Day Roster)

- The Venue: A big, high-energy, premium restaurant footprint.

- The Role: Act as the crucial second-in-command (2IC) to our dedicated Venue Manager at Debutant,



driving the floor hustle during peak lunch and dinner sessions.

- The Variety: Because you will be cross-trained across our group, you will also be our ultimate operational safety net—stepping in to lead services and cover management leave at Ruki when required.

What We Are Looking For

- Hands-on Hustle: Leaders who love the rush of a busy service, lead by example from the front, and coach their teams live on the floor.

- Proven Experience: Demonstrated leadership experience in a high-volume, premium restaurant environment (scaled to the position you are applying for).

- Business Acumen: For the Venue Manager role, a solid understanding of hospitality financial fundamentals (P&L; tracking, wage percentages, and stock management) is essential.

- Adaptability: For the Group Assistant role, the agility to adapt quickly to different venue styles and confidently run a major floor solo.

- Compliance: Current NSW RSA and a thorough understanding of restaurant food safety standards.

What’s in it for You?

- Unbeatable Work-Life Balance: Structured 4-day rosters with a guaranteed 3 days off every single week.

- Highly Competitive Salaries: Rewarding packages tailored exactly to your experience level, plus performance incentives for management roles.

- A Safety Net Structure: You will never be left on an island. Our management pool is designed to support, cover, and protect each other from burnout.

- Group Perks: Generous dining discounts across our venues.
