We’re opening a brand-new Mediterranean venue in early June on Phillip Street, and we’re looking for an experienced, customer-focused Restaurant Manager to join the founding team.
This venue will deliver Greek-influenced Mediterranean cuisine in a premium CBD setting, operating within a corporate environment (Monday to Friday, lunch and dinner service), with plans to expand into functions and events.
As Restaurant Manager, you will play a critical leadership role on the floor, working closely with the Head Chef to ensure a seamless connection between kitchen and service, and delivering a consistently high-quality guest experience.
You’ll be responsible for building the front-of-house team, setting service standards, and establishing the culture and rhythm of the venue from day one.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading day-to-day restaurant operations and service
- Working closely with the Head Chef to align service flow and guest experience
- Recruiting, training, and developing a high-performing FOH team
- Delivering exceptional, customer-focused service standards
- Managing reservations, floor planning, and service execution
- Driving team culture, performance, and accountability
- Handling guest feedback and resolving issues professionally
- Managing rosters, labour costs, and operational efficiency
- Supporting the growth of functions and events service
This is an opportunity to shape the front-of-house experience from launch in a premium, well-structured environment.
