Are you ready to move to MANSFIELD for a really solid career position? (Or do you know someone really suited to this role who is?, because we will happily reward you too)

Here are reasons why this position as Hotel Manager for The Delatite Hotel could be good for you. (and 3 reasons why it might NOT SUIT YOU)

Established award winning business - it has runs on the board, you're not going to have to ‘repair’ it, just keep improving the offering. (Finalist in 4 categories in recent AHA Awards)

Repairs and maintenance are a priority,…no ‘blu-tak/gaffer tape repairs’, we are always upgrading.

Great location in the heart of Mansfield & The High Country

A generous salary, plus bonus, and a Ski Pass too (not a skier? We'll make it a Golf Club membership)

Our Hotel has a genuine Family/Community/Entertainment/Events focus, we leave the doof doof music etc to the others.

There is room for revenue growth, but that is NOT our No.1 priority. (Let's chase quality & consistency, the $ will follow)

Loads of Live music in our Courtyard and Front Bar (Blues/Jazz/Folk/Cruisy covers…even Cabaret shows)

Well established/equipped/maintained kitchen

Good team of 42 staff, committed to making our place the best.

Large bistro, 2 Bars, Function area, 14 guest rooms and a successful Drive-thru BottleMart, means that our revenue base is diversified.

Locally based owners committed to continual improvement (but we want to go travelling, and let you get on with it)

Subsidised relocation costs and rental assistance, we'll even assist you with your accommodation .

Have a family? Wait till you hear about all the opportunities, you're guaranteed to be impressed.

We also own a cafe, 'The Produce Store' , great cross over opportunities if you have a partner.

This all means that you can get on with the responsibility of actually managing our team and the property, to deliver the service and the experience to our guests.

It also means that when you go home, you don't need to ‘take work home’. Yes, you'll have to work hard, and there'll always be ‘things’ that crop up, but we don't want you doing stupid hours. We do want you to be part of the community, to get out and about, take time for your family/friends, to ‘want' to be here, and get a real sense of satisfaction from managing one of the best venues in North East Victoria.

3 Reasons why this might NOT be the kind of hotel for you;

We don't have any gaming to subsidise everything else, we just have to be better operators

It's not a ‘Beginners’ hotel, it has a lot of moving parts. (Including a Mini-Golf course out the back,….told you we're not ‘just a pub’)

It's not a formula driven, cookie cutter hotel, we are always adapting.

Skills and commitment that we need:

Demonstrated experience in management of fast paced and flexible food and beverage business

Ability to create/manage weekly budgets, rostering, forecasting and COGS

Career minded with exceptional leadership skills, we need you to be capable & keen to grow and develop people.

Experience in developing, upgrading, implementing and maintaining operational procedures…you'll need to be able to write a procedure or two.

Ability and commitment to growing quality of experience and sales.

Some understanding of accommodation (we have 14 guest rooms, currently running over 60% occupancy year round) …but we can train in this area.

What will you look like? How about someone who has:

Strong customer focus and a passion for our crazy industry

Consistently high customer service standards

Commitment to your own progress and that of your team.

Positive and friendly attitude to encourage others to do the right thing,…staff and guests!

Good management & financial skills, plus the commitment to achieve consistent and timely results.

Strong compliance focus, …we're boring like that.

Desire and ability to engage with our local community

Excellent communication skills, hopefully a touch of creativity too.

Well-rounded, operational experience within the bar/pub industry

Strong problem-solving skills and lateral thinking.

Ability to take curve balls in your stride.

Reliable vehicle and current drivers licence.

Having asked for all that, we are happy to ‘grow’ the right person, IF you have a strong enough base of skills & experience, and a proven desire/capacity to grow.

PS Thank you for reading this far…it's a lot to take in, but we want to open from the start….and IF you DO know someone, pls get them to contact me, thank you. If they are our successful candidate we will shout yourself and 5 friends a red carpet night away, meals included.
