About usWe’re a small, independently run Sydney hospitality group with three very different venues. Arthur is a cosy, produce driven neighbourhood restaurant in Surry Hills. Jane is a wine bar and restaurant, also in Surry Hills. FIOR is Italian-Australian dining in Gymea. Each venue has its own personality, and its drinks should too. More venues are on the horizon.

The roleWe’re looking for a Group Bar Manager/Cocktail lead to lead the bar programs across all three venues. This is a creative role first. We want drinks no one else in Sydney is making, the kind guests talk about after they leave.

You’ll get one dedicated R&D; day every week. Each month you’ll focus on one venue, working with its team and our chefs to develop current cocktails built on seasonal produce, kitchen ingredients and what our sales data tells us. The rest of the week you’ll be in the venues on a rotating roster: training teams, keeping standards high and making sure every drink is as valuable on a busy Saturday as it was on launch day.

What you’ll do
Develop at least three fully finished, costed cocktails each month for the focus venue




Maintain an ongoing pipeline of concepts and long-lead preparations
Work closely with our chefs on seasonal ingredients, surplus and by-products
Run workshops and tastings with venue teams, and help staff grow their skills
Own recipe specs, pre-batching and quality control across all three bars
Review cost of goods and stock results, cut waste and hit GP targets
Source glassware and presentation that suits each venue
Present progress and finished drinks to the Directors each fortnight, and drive sign-off on time

About you
Proven experience managing a bar (multi-venue is a bonus, not essential)
A deep toolkit of techniques and processes, and the creativity to use them in new ways
Well researched and well travelled, with a close eye on what’s happening in Sydney and beyond
A track record of getting drinks to strong GPs
A excellent trainer who brings teams along
Organised, proactive and reliable with deadlines
Real passion for drinks
Current NSW RSA
