Job description

Area Manager | Fresh & Healthy Fast Casual | Sydney

Dillamore Recruitment Group – Sydney CBD NSW

Ready to take the next step in your hospitality career?

Perhaps you're running a busy flagship restaurant and have built a team of managers who are ready to stand on their own two feet. Or maybe you're already looking after a small group of restaurants and are ready for a bigger challenge.

Either way, if you love developing people, understand the numbers and know what it takes to deliver a great customer experience, this could be the role for you.

The business

Our client is an established fresh and healthy fast casual brand with 20 restaurants and plans to grow to 30 over the next couple of years.

This is a business that continues to invest and grow in a challenging market. With a portfolio of six company-owned restaurants, you'll have the opportunity to get close to your teams and make a real impact on their performance.

The role

As Area Manager, you'll lead and support your Restaurant Managers across six Sydney locations. You'll be responsible for the performance of your restaurants and for developing the people who run them.

Your focus will include:

• Coaching and developing Restaurant Managers and their teams
• Driving sales, profitability and operational performance
• Managing labour, food costs and restaurant P&Ls
• Maintaining high standards of customer service and food quality
• Using customer feedback and performance metrics to identify opportunities for improvement
• Building strong teams and developing future leaders

About you

You're a hands-on hospitality leader who enjoys being in restaurants, working alongside your teams and helping people get better at what they do.

You may be an experienced Restaurant Manager leading a large, high-volume operation, a Cluster Manager looking after a handful of locations, or an Area Manager looking for the right next move.

You'll bring strong commercial skills, a solid understanding of labour and cost control, and the ability to turn performance data into practical action. Just as importantly, you'll care about your people and the experience your customers receive.

Why this role?

This is a great opportunity to build your multi-site leadership experience with an established, growing brand. You'll have the chance to make the role your own, develop your team and build the skills to take on a larger area as your career progresses.
