In-Demand Assistant store manager Jobs in Parafield Sa

El Jannah began in 1998 in Granville, Sydney, with a simple idea: serve honest, authentic Lebanese-Australian food that brings people together. More than two decades on, our charcoal chicken, bold flavours and energetic restaurants have made us one of Australia's most loved food brands, with restaurants across NSW, the ACT and Victoria. Now we're bringing El Jannah to South Australia for the very first time, right by the beach in Glenelg. As we grow, we stay focused on what matters most: great food, great people and genuine connection.

About the Role

We're building the opening leadership team for El Jannah Glenelg and are looking for experienced, motivated leaders at both Shift Leader and Assistant Restaurant Manager level.

Working closely with the Restaurant Manager, you'll help lead the team, drive high standards across food quality, service, safety and cleanliness, and contribute to strong commercial performance. As part of the opening team, you'll also help train our founding crew and set the culture and standards that every future El Jannah in South Australia will be measured against.

This is a hands-on leadership role suited to someone who enjoys being on the floor, leading from the front and building a positive, high-performing team culture. Whether you're an experienced Assistant Manager, a Shift Leader ready for more responsibility, or a senior team member ready to step up, this is a rare opportunity to grow with a brand that invests in its leaders, from day one in a brand-new state.

What You'll Be Doing

Supporting the Restaurant Manager in leading daily restaurant operations
Championing the EJ Way and a guest-first culture, ensuring consistently high service standards
Leading, coaching and developing team members — including training our founding Glenelg crew
Supporting recruitment, onboarding and performance management
Preparing and managing rosters in line with operational requirements, labour budgets and compliance
Overseeing food safety, cleanliness and WHS standards
Managing stock levels, deliveries and inventory controls
Supporting payroll processes and administrative tasks
Helping drive sales, manage costs and deliver against restaurant KPIs
Building strong team engagement and a positive, inclusive workplace
Shift Leader responsibilities will focus on floor leadership, service standards and shift-level operations, with development toward the full scope above.

What We're Looking For

2–4 years' experience in a QSR or fast-paced hospitality environment
Proven experience leading or supporting teams in a leadership role
Strong communication and people leadership skills
A calm, confident approach and the ability to lead under pressure
Sound understanding of food safety, WHS and operational compliance
Strong organisational and time-management skills
A genuine passion for food, people and guest experience
Availability to work flexible rosters, including evenings, weekends and the busy summer season

Why Join El Jannah?

Be a founding leader of our first South Australian restaurant — build the team and culture from day one, don't just inherit one
Grow with us in SA: as we expand in the state, opening-team leaders are first in line for Restaurant Manager and multi-site opportunities through our Career Pathways program
A people-first culture that backs its leaders with ongoing development and support
An iconic beachside location in one of Adelaide's most loved precincts

If you're passionate about leading people, delivering great food and opening a restaurant you'll be proud of, we'd love to hear from you.
