• Partner with the kitchen and other HOD's to deliver innovative menus, promotions and activations that attract both locals and hotel guests

• Manage rosters, stock control, service standards and floor efficiency with a clear focus on both guest experience and financial performance

• Genuine career growth opportunities within a respected regional hospitality group

• Living and working in one of Australia's most beautiful coastal destinations
