Bistro / Restaurant Manager, Rooty Hill'ish to$110kS, 5weeks hols, early finish

About the venue

A stunning new high-volume dining operation at an established club venue in Sydney's west. This isn't your typical restaurant opening. Think quality club pub food in a fast-paced environment where efficiency and customer experience are everything.

The venue has a good-sized capacity, multiple ordering stations for the buzzer system, and a focus on keeping wait times under 25 minutes. This is all about creating a smooth service flow and building a team that can handle the volume.

The role

We need an experienced Restaurant Manager / Venue Manager who gets what high-volume service is all about. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll be living on the floor during service. You're essentially the trainer and team developer, making sure our young staff know what they're doing and can deliver quality service when it's absolutely hectic.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading the floor during peak periods (12-2:30pm and 5-8:30pm)
• Training and developing young team members constantly
• Managing rostering and staffing levels
• Ensuring wait times stay under 25 minutes (we aim for 20)
• Working with bartenders, junior managers, and floor staff
• Coordinating with the functions team for events and corporate bookings
• Building systems and standards for efficient buzzer system operations
• Staying visible and accessible - no disappearing into the office during service

What we're offering:

This is a genuine opportunity to build something from scratch with operators who know what they're doing. You'll be working under club awards (5 weeks annual leave), with clear autonomy in your area and the backing of experienced hospitality professionals.

Package details:

• $100-110K + superannuation - its a range based on your experience.
• 45-hour weeks initially, reducing once established.
• Double Friday/Saturday shifts, plus Wednesday/Thursday/Sunday lunches.
• Service is done early, meaning you get a good work/life balance.

What you need:

We seek someone ready to cut teeth in high-volume club or pub operations. You need to understand what it takes to keep a busy venue running smoothly and have the experience to back it up.

Essential experience:

• Proven high-volume club or pub management background
• Hands-on leadership style with strong floor presence
• Experience in training and developing young teams
• Ability to read customers and anticipate service issues
• Understanding of efficient service systems and flow

This is perfect for an experienced manager who wants to leave their mark on a new operation. You'll have the autonomy to lead and the support of a team that knows hospitality inside and out.

If you've got the high-volume experience and you're ready for the challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
