Canteen Manager

4 days ago

Brighton Queensland, Australia Brighton Bulldogs FC Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

Brighton Bulldogs Soccer Club is seeking a motivated and community-minded Canteen Manager to lead the operations of our club canteen — one of our most important revenue sources that supports our Football Programs.

The canteen is the heart of our club — where stories are shared, coffees are poured, and the smell of hot chips fills the air. This is more than a canteen job — it's like running your own little café at the club, with the chance to put your own stamp on it and help with fundraising events that make a real difference. The canteen plays a vital role in helping us keep membership fees low, ensuring football remains accessible to families and players across our community.

We're looking for someone with hospitality experience, strong organisational and people skills, and a passion for creating a welcoming environment. If you're proactive, reliable, and ready to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you


Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee the day-to-day operations of the club canteen including food preparation, customer service, and clean-up.
  • Demonstrate intermediate cooking skills for food preparation and canteen operations.
  • Ensure the canteen operates profitably and efficiently, supporting the club's ability to offer affordable membership.
  • Manage trading primarily on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with some weeknight operations throughout the year.
  • Support and coordinate catering for fundraising events and club functions.
  • Recruit, train, and supervise casual staff and volunteers.
  • Create and manage staff rosters for match days and events.
  • Develop and maintain a menu that is nutritious, appealing, and cost-effective.
  • Monitor stock levels, place orders, and manage supplier relationships.
  • Operate and maintain Point of Sale and inventory systems.
  • Track income and expenses, and report to the Treasurer and Club Committee.
  • Ensure compliance with all food safety and hygiene regulations.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming canteen environment.
  • Provide excellent customer service to club members, guests, and stakeholders.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Honest, reliable, and community-minded.
  • Proactive and solutions-focused.
  • Financially savvy with a focus on profitability and cost control.

Requirements

  • Cert III in Commercial cookery (or equivalent)
  • Current Blue Card (or willingness to obtain).
  • Valid driver's licence and access to a vehicle.
  • Eligible to work in Australia.
  • Completion of relevant Food Safety training (or willingness to complete).
