Lead the relaunch of one of Queensland's most iconic coastal venues
Are you a hospitality leader ready to take charge of one of Queensland's most iconic coastal dining destinations? Moreton Hospitality is seeking a Bistro Manager to oversee the Bistro and Functions department at the newly refurbished Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel (SIBH).
This is a rare opportunity to shape standards, service and guest experience from the ground up as the venue relaunches. You'll own the Bistro operation end-to-end - from daily service and team leadership through to cost control, functions, and guest engagement.
About the Venue
Perched above the iconic Cylinder Beach, SIBH is more than a pub – it's the island's flagship hospitality precinct. Following a major renovation, the hotel will feature:
· A refreshed Bistro with expansive indoor and outdoor dining
· Four distinct bars and gaming lounge
· Modern function and event facilities
· Guest accommodation
· Three bottle shops across the island
SIBH has always been a cornerstone of the local community and a must-visit for holidaymakers. With its new look and expanded capabilities, it's set to become one of Queensland's most exciting venues for dining, entertainment, and coastal escapes.
Key Responsibilities
As Bistro Manager, you will:
· Lead daily operations of the Bistro and Functions department, ensuring service runs smoothly and consistently exceeds guest expectations.
· Train, coach and inspire a team of supervisors and floor staff to deliver polished, guest-focused service.
· Oversee functions and events — liaise with the kitchen and events team to ensure seamless planning, set-up, service and guest satisfaction.
· Deliver commercial outcomes by managing labour efficiency, monitoring food and beverage costs, and maintaining accurate financial reporting.
· Ensure service standards are implemented, communicated and maintained across all shifts.
· Foster guest loyalty by building rapport with regulars and delivering memorable dining experiences.
· Maintain presentation and compliance standards across all service areas, ensuring food safety, hygiene, and workplace health and safety obligations are met.
· Collaborate with the General Manager and Head Chef to develop menus, promotions, and strategies that drive revenue and guest satisfaction.
What We're Looking For
· 3+ years' experience in restaurant, bistro, or function management in a high-volume venue.
· Strong leadership and people management skills, with a proven ability to develop and retain teams.
· Solid understanding of financial levers including labour control, COGS, and variance management.
· Excellent knowledge of food and beverage service standards, with wine and menu knowledge to drive sales.
· Confidence managing both day-to-day service and large-scale functions or events.
· Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
· Availability to work evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
· A hands-on operator with passion for hospitality and delivering memorable guest experiences.
Why Join Us?
· Lead with impact: Take ownership of the Bistro and Functions department in one of Queensland's most recognisable coastal hotels.
· Shape the guest experience: Build systems, service standards, and a culture of excellence from the ground up.
· Lifestyle & growth: Live and work in a premium beachfront location overlooking Cylinder Beach, with scope for career progression across the Moreton Hospitality portfolio.
