Big personalities required at Liar Liar!
We are looking for an experienced Section Waiter to join our growing front-of-house team.
We’re a high-energy Japanese restaurant and late-night venue in Braeside, combining premium Japanese food, cocktails, sake, live entertainment and a service style that’s polished without being stiff.
We’re looking for someone who can own a section, build a connection with guests and confidently guide them through the Liar Liar experience.
THE ROLE
As a Section Waiter, you’ll be responsible for your section from the moment guests sit down until they leave.
- Manage a busy section confidently and independently
- Provide warm, energetic and professional table service
- Know the menu and guide guests through their dining experience
- Explain Japanese dishes, ingredients and styles of dining
- Make confident food, cocktail, wine and sake recommendations
- Upsell naturally and increase the guest experience — not just the bill
- Control pacing and communicate effectively with the kitchen and pass
- Maintain clean, polished and properly reset tables throughout service
- Anticipate what your tables need before they have to ask
- Work closely with runners, bartenders, hosts and management
- Understand dietary requirements and allergies and never guess
- Help us maintain our focus on 5-star guest experiences
WHO WE’R LOOKING FOR
We want hospitality people who genuinely enjoy looking after guests.
Ideally, you will have:
- Previous experience managing your own section in a busy restaurant
- Strong food and beverage knowledge
- Confidence speaking with and engaging guests
- Excellent communication and attention to detail
- The ability to stay organised during high-volume services
- A positive attitude and willingness to help the wider team
- An interest in Japanese food, sake and culture
Japanese restaurant experience is highly regarded, but not essential. If you have strong restaurant experience and want to learn, we can teach you the product.

- Supportive FOH, bar and management team
