Jobbeschreibung

About the Venue

This is the next major step for one of Australia’s most respected boutique hospitality groups. Backed by a growing national business with international expansion underway, this Adelaide flagship brings modern Italian influence together with full‑service hospitality — casual in feel, refined in execution. Expect a $1.5 million designer fit‑out, open kitchen, premium plateware and glassware, and an experience model built around guest return rate, local engagement and consistency. Seating 100+, the venue sits in a landmark building with heritage character and excellent operational flow.

The Role

This is a launch leadership role with full operational responsibility from pre‑opening through to sustained success. You’ll partner closely with national leaders but have genuine autonomy to shape the team, standards and reputation of the venue.

Pre‑Opening

• Fully paid onboarding for 4–6 weeks
• Learn systems, service style, food knowledge and brand standards
• Work alongside National Operations and Training Leaders
• Lead recruitment, onboarding and training for a new 45‑person team
• Establish a positive, inclusive and professional workplace culture
• Set up service routines, financial systems and workflow standards for the site
• Put clear team progression and development pathways in place

Post‑Opening & Ongoing

• Be highly visible on the floor — supporting staff and elevating guest experience
• Develop and empower Assistant Managers and Supervisors to lead systems and daily routines
• Embed a strong team culture built on training, communication and accountability
• Run the P&L with commercial discipline: labour, COGS, compliance and retention
• Drive local business development including private dining and neighbourhood engagement
• Take part in national manager calls and contribute to network‑wide improvements
• Genuine career pathway into training, multi‑site or operations roles in Australia and the UAE

About You

You thrive in a structured environment and understand how great systems support great service. You lead from the floor, communicate clearly, and build trust through consistency and follow‑through. You’ll succeed here if you:

• Seek responsibility and enjoy leading a venue with full operational ownership
• Are confident with financials but strongest when leading people
• Know how to build, train and retain high‑performing teams
• Communicate in a clear, respectful and professional way
• Enjoy creating memorable experiences and growing guest loyalty
• Value a workplace culture that is inclusive, respectful and team‑driven

Salary & Benefits

• $100,000 – $120,000 + Super
• Quarterly bonuses linked to team performance, profit and guest experience
• Additional profit‑share opportunities (eligibility criteria apply)
• Weekly national leadership calls and ongoing training
• Full paid onboarding program before opening
• Genuine long‑term progression in a growing national and international group

Why This Role

• Lead a flagship opening with full support
• Autonomy without micromanagement
• Group growth pipeline includes five new venues and UAE expansion
• You’ll play a key role in shaping the brand’s Adelaide presence
• Culture is measured and maintained — not just spoken about
