  • Manage stock levels and supplier relationships
  • Ensure compliance with licensing, hygiene, health, and safety legislation

About You

  • 3+ years leadership experience in a high-volume restaurant or hospitality venue
  • Strong leadership and people management skills, with a track record of building high-performing teams
  • Passionate about customer service and delivering exceptional guest experiences
  • Community-minded, positive and hands-on
  • Confident managing costs, budgets and revenue
  • Flexible and willing to work evenings, weekends and public holidays

Perks & Benefits

  • Fun, supportive team culture
  • Generous tips + great staff discounts across all Ducks venues & partner businesses
  • Career progression opportunities within a respected hospitality group
  • Ability to work across our venues: Byron Bay, Rosebery, Melbourne, Bellingen & Nimbo
