Restaurant Manager | Crouching Monkey Restaurant | Brass monkey Hotel

The cornerstone of over 350 Australian communities, ALH owns and operates more pubs than anyone. The local pub is where stories are made and retold. A place to escape and feel at home. And every great local is made up of great people.

If work isn't fun, you're not playing on the right team - Frank Sonnenberg

Step into the exciting world of Crouching Monkey, where we're on the hunt for a dynamic Restaurant Manager to lead this creative and fun restaurant. The role is perfect for those looking to take the next step in leadership and showcase their people and hospitality skills

Crouching Monkey isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. We're an 80-seat, full-table service Asian fusion restaurant in bustling Northbridge, with a moody, quirky interior that screams fun. Our menu features a funky take on Asian fusion dishes, including our unique "tuk-tuk" concept – a delightful "feed me" menu that allows you to drive the guest experience. We're famous for our Massaman curry and beef takaki. The drinks list is tight and playful with twists on classic cocktails, chilled reds and tap beer.

A day in the life of a Restaurant Manager:

• Team Captain: You'll be the go-to person for our crew – hiring new faces, showing them the ropes, and making sure everyone feels supported and thrives. Think of it as building an awesome team where everyone brings their A-game. The team size of 5 is compact yet ample to match the table service service style.
• Money Smart: You'll get to peek behind the curtain at the numbers – keeping an eye on costs, wages, and how much cash we're bringing in. It's all about making smart financial moves.
• Getting the Word Out: Got ideas on how to get more people through the door? You'll have a say in our marketing, helping us shout about what makes Crouching Monkey special, including cool offers.
• Smooth Sailing (Seating-wise): You'll be the wizard of bookings and reservations, making sure our guests get seated quickly and happily, no chaos allowed
• Running the Show: This is where you pull it all together. You'll be overseeing everything that happens day-to-day, making sure we're always delivering top-notch service and keeping our quality sky-high
