Restaurant Supervisor

What this Cairns employer wants is simple to read: a Restaurant Supervisor who already knows how to command a busy dining room and wants to keep climbing. The venue is a family-run Italian trattoria, open-air, cooking homestyle dishes from breakfast to late seven days a week, and its wine list is a selling point.

Strong candidates will show supervisory floor time in a quality venue, real confidence with wine, and a record of keeping standards up when the room is full. The business offers a pathway into management. Applicants already onshore with full working rights fit the brief, and sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
