Job description

Assistant Manager — Full Time
ALT Pasta Bar | Melbourne CBD

We’re looking for a full-time Assistant Manager to help lead our front-of-house team at ALT Pasta Bar.

Tucked away on Niagara Lane in Melbourne’s CBD, we’re a pasta bar built around handmade pasta, Italian foundations and subtle Korean and Japanese influences. We care about what we serve and how we look after people, and we’re looking for someone who shares that approach.

Previous experience in a quality full-service restaurant is essential. You should feel comfortable running a busy service, guiding a team and delivering attentive, thoughtful hospitality. An understanding of service standards, timing and the small details that make guests feel looked after is a big part of this role.

Working closely with the owner and kitchen team, you’ll help oversee day‑to‑day floor operations, support and train our FOH team, manage reservations and keep service running smoothly. Good food and wine knowledge, clear communication and a hands‑on attitude will all be valued.

Experience matters, but so does the way you work with people. We’re looking for someone warm, reliable and positive, who takes ownership and leads by example. You should enjoy being on the floor, building relationships with guests and helping your team do their best work.

As we head into our fourth year, we have plenty we want to build on. This is an opportunity to become a key part of an established restaurant and grow with a team that has further projects ahead.

Salary will be discussed based on your experience and what you bring to the role. Availability for evening and weekend services is required.
