The Opportunity

An award-winning Blue Mountains restaurant with a loyal following and strong reputation for food and hospitality is looking for a confident floor leader to join the team.

The venue has built its reputation on bold, produce-driven food, a vibrant atmosphere and genuinely warm service. Most nights we're full with a mix of locals, travellers and weekend guests escaping the city.

We’re now looking for a Restaurant Manager — or an experienced Supervisor or Assistant Manager ready to step into their first management role — to help lead the floor and continue building the energy and culture of the venue.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves service, enjoys mentoring a team and takes pride in creating memorable guest experiences.

 

The Role

You’ll lead the service team and help shape the guest experience.

This is a floor-focused leadership role, not an office job. You’ll run service, mentor the team and ensure the experience feels smooth from the moment guests walk through the door.

You’ll work closely with the kitchen and venue leadership to maintain the standards that have built the restaurant’s reputation.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the floor during service and set the standard for hospitality

  • Train, mentor and support the FOH team

  • Run confident, organised services during busy periods

  • Manage rostering and shift planning

  • Use systems to perform beverage ordering and stock control

  • Maintain procedures and RSA compliance

  • Build rapport with regular guests and returning visitors

  • Work closely with the kitchen to ensure smooth service flow

 

Who This Role Would Suit

We’re open to two types of candidates:

An experienced Restaurant Manager, or

A strong Supervisor / Assistant Manager ready to step up into a management role.

You:

  • Have experience in a busy restaurant, wine bar or similar venue

  • Enjoy leading a team on the floor

  • Have strong food and beverage knowledge

  • Stay calm and organised during busy services

  • Lead with professionalism, warmth and confidence

RSA required. First Aid desirable.

 

What We Offer

  • A genuine leadership role in an award-winning venue

  • Excellent remuneration for the right candidate

  • Tips and staff benefits

  • Relocation assistance for candidates moving to the Blue Mountains

  • Potential visa sponsorship for the right international applicant

  • Supportive ownership and a strong hospitality team
