House of Bungalow is a new hospitality destination opening in the heart of Surry Hills.
We are now looking for a capable and hands-on Restaurant Supervisor to support the Restaurant Manager in launching and operating our 80-seat ground-floor restaurant.
This is a hands-on, floor-based leadership role within the restaurant. You will help run shifts, support the front-of-house team and ensure high standards are maintained throughout service.

About You
You are confident, organised and calm under pressure. You understand that strong hospitality is not only about completing service — it is about reading the room, anticipating what guests need and helping the team perform at its best.
You will ideally have:
- 2+ years' experience as a Restaurant Supervisor, Duty Manager or senior FOH role in a quality, high-volume venue
- Strong floor-management skills and experience leading and training FOH teams
- Solid wine knowledge and confidence guiding guests and staff on wine and food pairing
- A genuine interest in food, wine, cocktails and contemporary hospitality
- Great communication, problem-solving and attention to detail
- Confidence with reservation and POS systems
- Current NSW RSA and full Australian working rights
- Availability for evenings, weekends and public holidays
Experience with venue openings, premium casual dining, shared-plate restaurants, events or high-energy weekend trade will be highly regarded.
What We Offer
- Full-time salary of $70,000 plus superannuation
- Tips in addition to your salary
- The opportunity to help launch a major new Surry Hills venue
- A genuine second-in-command position with meaningful responsibility
- Direct support and development from the Restaurant Manager and leadership team
