Love hospitality?
Love wine country?
Come and lead our restaurant team in the heart of the Hunter Valley.
At Restaurant Cuvee, we're all about valuable food, great wine and even better people.
We're looking for a Restaurant Manager to bring energy, warmth and a little sparkle to our restaurant, someone who lights up a dining room and brings out the best in a team.
The role
You'll be the heart of our restaurant, leading a friendly team, looking after our guests and making sure every visit feels special.
You'll work side by side with our chefs and marketing team, and you'll have plenty of room to put your own stamp on things.
One day you're on the floor charming guests at a busy Saturday lunch, the next you're planning a menu update or a seasonal promotion.
What you'll get up to
Leading a team you're proud of:hire, train, roster and coach a great bunch of people, celebrate their wins and help them grow
Creating "wow" moments:set the tone for warm, polished service and turn feedback into even better experiences
Keeping the restaurant humming:opening and closing, stock and ordering, equipment and the rhythm of service, even on the busiest days
Making every table count:manage bookings and seating so guests are well looked after and the restaurant makes the most of every service
Keeping an eye on the numbers:look after the budget, track sales and costs, and use smart pricing and promotions to grow revenue




Shaping the menu:team up with our chefs to create dishes guests rave about, with an eye on quality and cost
Spreading the word:work with our marketing team on events, offers and loyalty ideas that bring people through the door
Keeping things safe and compliant:uphold food safety, hygiene and licensing standards, including RSA
Building great supplier relationships:negotiate, collaborate and find the best local partners
You might be our person if you...
Proven experience in a restaurant management or senior hospitality/supervisor role
Lead with warmth, positivity and a calm head when things get busy
Feel comfortable with budgets, costs and reporting
Are genuinely passionate about food, wine and making people feel welcome
Communicate clearly and love bringing people together
Hold your RSA and Food Safety certification (or are happy to get)
Have used reservation and POS systems
Can work weekends, public holidays and event periods
Salary will be negotiated based on experience
Why you'll love it here
A beautiful vineyard setting you won't mind coming to every day
A well-loved Hunter Valley business with a cellar door, weddings and events and wine club
A real say in the menu, the guest experience and where the restaurant goes next
