About the Venue
Set in one of the Gold Coast’s most vibrant dining precincts, this premium venue combines warm hospitality with elevated service and a contemporary Australian menu. Beloved by a stylish clientele and supported by a loyal local following, it’s powered by a team of professionals who take genuine pride in their craft. Renowned for attention to detail and a spirit of constant evolution, this is a destination that never stands still.
The Role
We’re seeking a confident, hands-on Restaurant General Manager who thrives in fast-paced environments where style, structure, and service matter. This is not a rebuild — it’s about leading from the floor, mentoring a skilled team, and raising the bar on already high standards.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead daily service with poise and consistency — especially during peak periods
- Support, guide, and uplift the front-of-house and bar leadership team
- Build meaningful guest relationships and maintain VIP rapport
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to drive bookings, brand visibility, and spend-per-head
- Bring structure, accountability, and a sense of pride to the venue’s daily rhythm
- Champion the guest experience with thoughtful touches and consistent standards
What You Bring
- Proven experience in premium hospitality or lifestyle dining environments
- An intuitive, guest-first mindset — you’re the kind of leader people remember
- Experience managing a full FOH team with a hands-on, polished approach
- Strong food and beverage understanding (modern Australian or European-inspired ideal)
- Energy, presence, and the ability to lift standards without disrupting the team dynamic
- Personal style and grooming that reflect the premium nature of the venue
Perks & Package
- Up to $150K+S+ KPI Bonus
- Flexibility to manage your own roster, including two consecutive days off
- Parking provided | Top-tier rostering and reporting systems
- A loyal, high-functioning team ready for their next inspiring leader
- Sponsorship available for standout international candidates already in Australia
- Rotating weekends off
