You’ll need:
- Previous experience as a Duty Manager in a busy bar or restaurant.

- Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop a team.
- A genuine passion for great service and making people feel welcome.
- An eye for the numbers—experience managing rosters, budgets, and stock.
- A solid understanding of liquor licensing, food safety, and OH&S regulations.
