Great food gets people through the door. Great hospitality brings them back.
We’re looking for an experienced Venue Manager who knows how to deliver both: a restaurant guests love visiting and a team that takes pride in every service.

What you’ll take ownership of
Lead daily restaurant operations, keeping service organised, welcoming and attentive.
Recruit, coach and develop your team, with clear expectations and regular feedback.
Manage rosters and labour costs to match trading needs.
Monitor sales, stock, costs and venue performance, turning results into practical improvements.
Work closely with the Head Chef to keep the kitchen and floor moving together.
Handle guest feedback thoughtfully and build relationships that encourage repeat visits.
Maintain food safety, responsible service of alcohol, workplace safety and company standards.
Keep group leadership informed of results, priorities and support needs.
What you’ll bring
Proven experience managing a busy restaurant or hospitality venue.
Confidence taking responsibility for daily operations and team performance.
A sound understanding of budgets, P&L, rostering and labour control.
A leadership style that combines approachability with clear accountability.
The ability to read a room, support your team and stay composed when service gets busy.
Genuine enthusiasm for Italian food and thoughtful hospitality.
Availability across the restaurant’s trading week, including evenings and weekends.
Current RSA certification, or willingness to obtain the appropriate certification before commencing relevant duties.
$90,000–$110,000 + super, depending on experience.
A full-time leadership role within an established national hospitality group.
Ownership of day-to-day operations, with wider group support.
