Assistant Restaurant Manager – A Hands-On Leadership Opportunity Like No Other

This isn’t your average assistant manager role. It’s a rare opportunity to step into a leadership position where culture, passion and people come first — and where your hands-on approach and love for great hospitality will be genuinely celebrated.

As an Assistant Restaurant Manager, you’ll become the heartbeat of a high-performing team, leading from the front in a fast-paced, high-energy environment. You won’t be stuck in the back office — you’ll be right there on the grill, on the floor, and in the moment with your team and your customers.
This is a role for someone who thrives on connection, takes ownership, and has a knack for bringing the best out of people. Someone who doesn’t just love hospitality, but lives and breathes it.

What You’ll Do:

• Inspire and lead your team by example — whether that’s cooking on the line, guiding service on the floor, or creating those memorable “wow” moments for customers.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Restaurant Manager to keep everything running like a well-oiled machine: quality, training, operations, performance, and team culture.
• Contribute to the success of the restaurant by driving KPIs, improving processes, and building team capability.
• Play a key role in coaching your team and shaping the workplace culture with your positivity, grit, and resilience.
• Help create a supportive, high-trust environment where people feel valued and customers feel the difference.

What You Bring:

• At least 2 years’ experience in a fast-paced hospitality or retail leadership role.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to lead a team through a busy service with a smile.
• A down-to-earth, get-your-hands-dirty attitude. You lead by doing, not telling.
• A values-led approach to people, culture, and performance.
• The kind of resilience that means you stay calm under pressure, and keep your team motivated no matter what the day throws at you.

What’s On Offer:

• $70K + super + bonus
• A restaurant model that includes two Assistant Managers and a Restaurant Manager — meaning you’re never doing it all alone.
• A strong and supportive culture that values people and celebrates effort.
• A business that genuinely believes in sustainability, community, and doing the right thing — for both people and the planet.
• Career progression pathways to area management, support office roles, or business ownership.
• A balanced schedule, with no expectation to be on call on your days off.

If you’re ready to be part of something bigger and lead a team that’s passionate, purpose-driven, and full of energy — this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
