The Opportunity

Imagine working in one of Mornington’s most buzzing restaurants - sleek, modern interiors, ocean views, and a lively indoor/outdoor dining atmosphere.

You’ll oversee food safety, manage team KPIs, and work closely with senior management to keep the operation at the top of its game.
Expect to lead a large team on shift while receiving the mentoring you need to grow into a senior leadership role.
