Job description

SENIOR FRONT OF HOUSE / SUPERVISOR

WOOD & BONE – MOORABBIN

4-day working week | Sunday-Tuesday off

Wood & Bone is looking for an experienced Senior Front of House professional / Supervisor to join our small team, with a genuine opportunity to progress into a Restaurant Manager role. We're an independent 55-seat steakhouse focused on premium Australian produce, exceptional beef, BBQ and seasonal seafood, complemented by a carefully selected Australian wine list. Being a smaller restaurant, our approach to hospitality is personal. We value warm, knowledgeable service without unnecessary formality — professional and attentive, while allowing guests to feel genuinely comfortable. We're looking for someone who understands that great hospitality is about much more than taking orders.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on senior position for someone confident running a service, looking after guests and setting the standard for the FOH team. You'll work closely with the owners and gradually take greater responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the restaurant. The role includes overseeing service, reservations and table management, opening and closing procedures, staff supervision and training, functions and events, and maintaining the presentation and atmosphere of the venue. Strong food and wine knowledge is important. You should be comfortable discussing different cuts of beef, cooking methods, seasonal dishes and wine recommendations naturally and confidently with guests.

ABOUT YOU

You'll ideally have several years of experience in quality restaurants and previous responsibility as a Senior Waiter, Supervisor or Assistant Manager. We're looking for someone polished and confident, but never pretentious. Someone who notices the details, reads the room, remembers guests and understands how to create the kind of service that brings people back. You'll be organised, reliable and calm under pressure, with strong communication skills and the ability to lead a small team by example. Most importantly, you'll genuinely enjoy hospitality and taking care of people.

WHAT WE OFFER

A genuine 4-day working week, with Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off, providing three consecutive days away from the restaurant each week. Above-award remuneration, reflective of experience and responsibility, with additional performance incentives available. A small, established restaurant where you can have a genuine influence on the guest experience and the way the venue operates. And, for the right person, a clear pathway from Senior FOH / Supervisor into Restaurant Manager, taking increasing responsibility for the venue, team, functions and overall operation. This could suit an experienced Supervisor or Assistant Manager ready to take the next step, or an accomplished hospitality professional looking for a smaller independent restaurant where their contribution will genuinely matter.
