  • Lead from the front: an on-the-floor leadership role—service pace, standards, and team energy are your signature

  • Run service confidently (lunch & dinner), setting the pace, tone, and sequence for the team
  • Coach and develop a well-established FOH; recruit, onboard, and embed clear service standards
  • Build rosters and manage labour; support end-of-month tasks with the leadership team

  • Safeguard standards: cleanliness, compliance, presentation—always guest-ready

What you'll bring

  • Proven Restaurant Manager (or senior ACM/AM ready to step up) in a premium bistro/brasserie or relaxed fine-dining
  • Confident wine knowledge and the ability to guide pairings without pretence
  • A genuine service presence—calm under pressure, clear on standards, warm with regulars
  • Strength in people leadership: training, feedback, setting culture
  • Solid rostering capability and comfort with SevenRooms (or similar) and Jensen POS (or similar)
  • Professional presentation, reliability, and pride in doing things properly
  • Values that fit: humility, respect, commitment

The environment

  • Eastern Suburbs, Sydney
  • Six-day operation; balanced hours with no extreme late nights
  • Loyal, discerning locals who notice the details

What's on offer
