Love Coffee? Love Cocktails? Why not combine the two at the iconic venue of Winnie's at the Sydney Opera House?!

Located on the Lower Concourse of the Sydney Opera House, Winnie’s is the cafe counterpart to the equally iconic Opera Bar.

Aussie

Cafe by day, cocktail bar by night - a space that feels familiar the moment you walk in, and better every time you return. Designed for laidback brekkies, long lunches, iconic harbour views, sunset spritzes, and those ‘just one more’ kind of evenings.

And we're looking for an Cafe & Beverage Manager to help lead the team at one of Sydney's newest Cafe destinations.

Here's what you'll get up to:

- Lead the cafe experience: Oversee daily cafe operations, lead service on the floor and ensure a seamless, high-quality experience from the first coffee to the last guest.
- Bring the people: Coach and develop a passionate team with strong coffee knowledge, genuine hospitality and plenty of personality.
- Own the offering: Drive excellence across coffee, beverages and food service, maintaining consistency, quality and presentation across every service.
- Set the standard: Build a culture of exceptional coffee, beverage and product knowledge,



with a strong focus on service standards and guest experience.
- Keep things sharp: Oversee POS, cash handling, compliance, food safety and day-to-day operations, while keeping the energy and atmosphere that make Winnies special.

You'll bring:

- 1–2 years' leadership experience in a cafe or premium, high-volume hospitality venue, with cafe management experience highly regarded.
- A genuine passion for coffee, food, beverages, people and all things hospitality.
- Confidence managing teams, rosters, budgets and day-to-day cafe operations.
- A robust understanding of cafe service, coffee quality and delivering a great guest experience.
- Experience managing a bar or broader beverage offering will be advantageous, but isn't essential.
- Strong communication, a hands-on attitude and the ability to think on your feet.
- A current NSW RSA.
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and public holidays.
