The opportunity

This Melbourne employer is after a Restaurant Manager who can help a brand-new CBD restaurant settle into its stride. The venue opened in a landmark heritage dining room down a historic laneway, and early success means it is now growing the management team with this role and an Assistant Restaurant Manager.

From a recruiter's point of view, the brief is about values as much as experience. The owners want managers who care about quality and where ingredients come from, and who can lead a floor that feels warm across the dining room, bar and private room. The food is generous, built on produce and cooked over charcoal.

Sponsorship is available for management positions.

To stand out, tailor your CV to what the venue values most: team culture, front-of-house leadership and care for provenance. Tailor your hospitality leadership CV with Build AI CV so those strengths are easy to spot.
