At YASSAS – The Greek Way, we're more than just a restaurant, we're a destination for incredible food, warm hospitality, and unforgettable experiences. As we continue to grow, we're looking for an exceptional Venue Manager to lead our flagship Southbank venue and another Venue Manager for our upcoming Mitcham venue.
Great restaurants aren’t built on great food alone—they’re built by exceptional leaders.
We’re looking for an experienced Restaurant Manager who believes hospitality is about creating memorable experiences, not simply serving meals. Someone who inspires their team, builds genuine connections with guests, and understands that outstanding service drives loyal customers and profitable business.
If you’re a hands-on leader who loves developing people, thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to balance exceptional guest experiences with strong commercial outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
As the Venue Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading the daily operation of our restaurant while creating an environment where both our team and our guests love to be.
You’ll be visible on the floor, coaching your team in the moment, recognising opportunities to exceed guest expectations, and ensuring every service reflects genuine hospitality.
You’ll also understand the numbers behind the business—managing labour, controlling costs, reducing waste and driving profitable performance without compromising the guest experience.
What You’ll Be Doing
· Lead, coach and inspire a high-performing team.
· Create a positive, energetic culture where people love coming to work.
· Deliver exceptional hospitality that turns first-time guests into loyal regulars.
· Build strong guest relationships and create memorable dining experiences.
· Recruit, train and develop future leaders.
· Manage labour, wages and rostering to maximise productivity.
· Control food and beverage costs, minimise waste and protect profitability.
· Drive sales through outstanding service, local engagement and guest loyalty.
· Maintain exceptional food safety, compliance and operational standards.
· Work closely with senior leadership to achieve business goals.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll be an experienced hospitality leader with:
· Previous Restaurant Management experience.
· A genuine passion for people and hospitality.
· Outstanding leadership and coaching skills.
· The ability to motivate, inspire and develop teams.
· Strong financial acumen, including wage and cost control.
· Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
· High standards and attention to detail.
· The ability to remain calm and lead confidently during busy service periods.
· A hands-on leadership style—you lead from the floor, not the office.
What Success Looks Like
Our ideal manager understands that success is measured by more than sales.
It’s a team that enjoys coming to work.
Guests who return because of how they were made to feel.
Strong financial results built through smart decision-making.
A restaurant where hospitality is felt in every interaction.
Why Join Us?
We’re building more than a restaurant—we’re creating a place where people genuinely enjoy working and where guests become part of our community.
In return, you’ll enjoy:
· A supportive leadership team.
· Opportunities for career growth and development.
· The chance to make a real impact on culture and performance.
· A business that values hospitality as much as profitability.
· Competitive salary package with performance incentives.
