ABOUT US

We're a 12-year established, lively and fun premium dining basement steakhouse and bar in the CBD, renowned for our individualised and personable approach to service.
We offer a great work environment with plenty of flexibility. We bring a one-team mentality, where front of house and kitchen work as one. Good tips, staff meals for doubles, no late nights, and we're closed on Sunday and Monday so everyone gets time to recharge. We'll develop your knowledge with regular training on all things hospitality.
THE ROLE
We are seeking an experienced, passionate, and hands-on hospitality professional to lead our front-of-house team as our Restaurant Manager or provide strong support and experience as Assistant Manager.

You will be responsible for driving venue performance, managing staff, and delivering an unforgettable, personalised experience to our guests.
Key Requirements:
- Minimum Diploma and 1–3 years of relevant experience in a fast-paced premium restaurant environment.
- Proven ability to lead, mentor, and motivate a diverse team ( both FOH and BOH ) with a one-team mentality. Strong knowledge of Australian wine, spirits, and craft beer is highly advantageous.
- Strong shift management skills, including managing floor sections, pacing reservations, and handling times under pressure.
- Experience with staff rostering, managing labour costs, and driving revenue through excellent guest experiences and upselling.
- Strong knowledge of steak, Australian wine, spirits, and craft beer is highly advantageous.
