  • Lead, train, and motivate a high-performing front and back-of-house team.
  • Prepare and manage staff rosters aligned with sales forecasts and labour budgets.
  • Maintain strict food safety, hygiene, and WHS compliance at all times.
  • Monitor sales and cost reports, implementing strategies to achieve KPI targets (sales growth, labour %, COGS, customer satisfaction).
  • Execute local marketing and promotional initiatives to drive customer engagement and repeat visits.

KPIs include:

  • Sales and profit growth
  • Labour and COGS control
  • Customer satisfaction and audit results
  • Staff retention and team development

About You

  • Minimum 2 years' experience as a Restaurant or Assistant Manager in QSR or casual dining.
  • Strong operational and people management skills.
  • Proficiency with POS systems, basic computer skills for roster management and reporting
  • Proven ability to meet KPIs and manage budgets effectively.
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities.
  • Hands-on leadership style with a focus on training, accountability, and customer service.
  • Flexibility to work weekends and public holidays in a shopping centre environment..
  • Current Food Safety Supervisor Certificate (or willingness to obtain within 30 days)
  • Full working rights in Australia (Australian citizenship, permanent residency, or valid work visa)
  • Valid Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificate for Victoria

What We Offer

  • $75K–$80K + performance incentives
  • 40-hour work week (mix of weekday/weekend shifts)
  • Career growth to multi-store management within our expanding franchise group
  • Supportive team culture, free meals, and staff discounts
