We are proud to represent this client who's looking for an experienced General Manager to oversee two high-profile, contemporary restaurants on the Gold Coast.  This role is pivotal to the continued success and evolution of both restaurants as they move into their next phase of growth.

The successful candidate will bring strong leadership, commercial acumen, and the ability to embed structure, process, and culture within a talented, motivated team.

The Business

These two venues represent the best of Gold Coast dining — one offering a refined, modern experience, and the other a more casual, vibrant atmosphere. Together, they form part of a well-established and highly regarded hospitality group with an expanding portfolio and a commitment to quality, culture, and guest experience.

The Role

As General Manager, you will take overall responsibility for the performance, culture, and profitability of both venues. You'll lead the day-to-day operations of the flagship restaurant while providing strategic and light-touch oversight of its sister venue, ensuring consistency, alignment, and shared standards across both.

This is a hands-on leadership role requiring a balance of operational excellence and long-term strategic thinking. You'll shape culture, implement systems and structure, mentor emerging leaders, and drive the venues toward their commercial and brand goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, inspire, and develop a passionate front-of-house team, setting the tone for professionalism, culture, and consistency.
  • Implement and maintain operational systems, structures, and SOPs for seamless service delivery.
  • Mentor and guide emerging leaders, building capability and accountability across both venues.
  • Oversee training, performance management, and development programs.
  • Partner with senior leadership to align operations with broader business strategy.
  • Manage budgets, cost controls, and commercial performance to achieve sustainable profitability.
  • Ensure both venues deliver exceptional guest experiences and uphold brand values.
  • Foster strong relationships with guests, suppliers, and community partners.

The Ideal Candidate

You're an experienced hospitality leader who thrives in dynamic, high-end environments. You combine strong operational and financial capability with a genuine passion for people and culture.

Key Attributes:

  • Proven experience as a General Manager or senior Venue Manager in premium, medium to high-volume dining.
  • Exceptional people leadership and team development skills.
  • Highly organised, hands-on, and floor-present
  • Commercially astute with strong budgeting, forecasting, and reporting ability.
  • Skilled in implementing structure, training frameworks, and SOPs.
  • Calm, grounded, and professional under pressure, with strong emotional intelligence.
  • Long-term mindset, with an eye toward business growth and team succession.

Remuneration & Growth

  • Base Salary: $120,000 – $130,000 + super (commensurate with experience)
  • Pathway: Long-term progression within a growing, multi-venue group

Summary This is a rare leadership opportunity for a people-focused hospitality professional to take ownership of two exceptional venues on the Gold Coast. It offers autonomy, challenge, and the opportunity to shape culture, performance, and the next chapter of two standout restaurants within a growing group.
