  • Be part of the leadership team of this exciting new precinct, venue and project.
  • Development opportunities.
  • Join a team redefining hospitality.

The Company

The Etymon vision to create, curate and manage world class hospitality, lifestyle and leisure businesses within Australia, China, Los Angeles, London and Singapore.

The Venue

Fire, wood and charcoal are at the heart of Poetica Bar & Grill,a refined and relaxed modern Sydney bar and grill in the heart of North Sydney. We opened our doors to rave reviews in early September 2023 and received One Hat from the Good Food Guide in our first few weeks.

Along one side of the 120-seat light-filled restaurant is an impressive 700-bottle wine wall, glass-fronted dry-ageing cabinets, and a 15-metre-long open kitchen featuring a Josper charcoal oven and custom wood-burning hearth.

The Opportunity

We are recruiting a Restaurant Manager to take carriage of the people experience of our guests and team.

Specifically, we are looking for a well-rounded manager who engages their team to put the guest experience at the forefront and ensures a killer vibe, every single service.

Of course, you will hold ultimate accountability for the financial performance of the venue and uphold compliance as it relates to Health, Safety and Environment, and the Liquor License. You will be a jack of all trades, wearing many hats, bouncing ideas off your Head Chef and the precinct heads of department. Ultimately you will be responsible for delivery against KPI's set as they relate to the performance of one of the venues in the AURA Precinct within your respective venue (or venues).

The Role

  • A people leader - both from a guest and team perspective; you bring the fun and the passion.
  • Craft the guest experience to position the venue at the forefront of guests minds to keep them coming back.
  • Mentor and support the Front of House team to deliver a high-quality execution of service including recruitment, onboarding and training.
  • Manage the floor plan to maximise service periods in collaboration with Reservations and Events and the venue staff.
  • Work with the Head Chef and Reservations and Events on the planning and execution of menus for a la carte and event bookings.
  • Deliver consistent service that is focused on excellence, with a passion for the product.
  • Have a financial focus including rostering to labour costings and stock control
  • Support the strategy around growing the community of locals and regulars within and around the business
  • Maintain compliance with Health, Safety and Environment policies, the Workplace Risk Management Plan and Liquor Licensing.

The Perks

  • Competitive Salary ranging from $76,515 - $78,000
  • Discount across all Etymon Projects venues
  • Opportunity for involvement with future venue openings across our ambitious growth plans
  • Training and development from some of the best leaders in Sydney hospitality
  • An opportunity to be part of truly landmark venues in the future of the Sydney dining scene
