Located in the heart of the Tonsley Innovation Precinct, Tonsley, Bar, Bistro (TBB) welcomes a diverse mix of hotel guests, corporate clients, conference and event delegates, and the surrounding local community.
With an established business and exciting opportunities for further growth, we're looking for a supervisor who can help us continue to build a welcoming, professional and consistently excellent hospitality experience.

Supporting promotions and initiatives to grow restaurant, bar and local business
Communicating effectively with the General Manager and wider hotel team
You'll be trusted to take ownership of your shifts, make sound operational decisions and ensure our guests receive the warm, attentive and professional service for which Mantra Tonsley is known.
About You
You're an experienced hospitality professional who enjoys being part of the action.
You're confident running a service, comfortable taking responsibility and know how to bring the best out of the people around you. You understand that great hospitality comes from attention to detail, teamwork and a genuine interest in looking after guests.
You will ideally bring:

Strong practical experience in restaurant and bar service
Confidence supervising and motivating a small team
A genuine commitment to exceptional customer service
