House of Halsa is looking for an experienced, motivated and hands-on Venue Manager to lead our Mermaid Beach venue. This is a key leadership role responsible for the overall performance of the café - from building a strong team and delivering an exceptional customer experience to managing labour, stock, systems and the smooth day-to-day operation of the venue. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, leads from the front and has the energy and attention to detail required to maintain a high-performing, fast-paced venue.
The Role
- Leading, motivating and developing the front-of-house, smoothie and kitchen teams

- Resolving customer concerns professionally and proactively
- Identifying opportunities to improve systems, efficiency and the customer experience
- Working closely with ownership and senior management on venue performance and future growth
- Taking genuine ownership of the venue and its results
About You
You'll be a confident hospitality leader who enjoys being on the floor and involved in the operation rather than managing from the sidelines. You will ideally have:
- Previous experience managing a busy café, restaurant or hospitality venue
- Strong leadership and people-management skills
- Experience managing rosters, labour and staffing levels
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- High standards for service, cleanliness and presentation
- The ability to remain calm and make decisions in a fast-paced environment
