Job description

Located at the iconic Manly Wharf, Felons brings together great beer, food, live entertainment and vibrant hospitality. We’re looking for a commercially minded hospitality leader to take ownership of the overall leadership, operational and financial performance of both venues.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves hospitality, knows how to build great teams and is passionate about creating memorable guest experiences.

As General Manager, you’ll be responsible for:

• Leading, coaching and developing the venue leadership and wider team
• Building a positive, accountable and high-performing culture
• Owning venue P&L performance, budgets, forecasting and commercial strategy
• Driving revenue across food, beverage, events and functions
• Ensuring exceptional standards across service, food, beverage and presentation
• Managing labour, COGS, stock control and operational costs
• Driving live entertainment, events, activations and guest engagement
• Working closely with the brewery, marketing, events, culinary and central support teams
• Ensuring compliance across licensing, RSA, WHS and food safety
• Building strong beer knowledge and bringing the Felons brand to life across both venues

You’ll ideally have:

• 6 to 8+ years’ senior hospitality management experience
• Experience leading a high-volume bar, brewery, restaurant, pub or entertainment venue

• Experience managing events and functions
• Strong knowledge of NSW liquor licensing and RSA requirements

The leader we’re looking for:

• You’re a visible, hands- on leader who leads from the front.
• You understand that great commercial results come from great people, great products and exceptional guest experiences. You’re equally comfortable reviewing a P&L, developing a commercial strategy or jumping onto the floor during a busy service.
• Most importantly, you bring energy, accountability and a genuine love of hospitality and beer.

Why you’ll love working with us

• Lead Felons Brewing Co. and the Barrel Room at Manly Wharf
• Be part of the exciting growth of Felons Brewing Co.
