Restaurant manager
Hospitality · Indooroopilly, Brisbane QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $40/hr
Great restaurant managers do more than coordinate service: they create the kind of room that brings customers back and gives the team confidence.
A quality Brisbane venue is seeking an experienced Restaurant Manager to lead visibly from the front. You will set the tone on the floor, connect with guests, motivate the front-of-house team and find practical ways to improve both the customer experience and revenue, turning exceptional service into loyalty and stronger results.
The target is clear: help lift restaurant sales by approximately 15–20% within the first three months. Hours are a steady 4:00pm to 9:30pm with no early starts or split shifts, and a full-time position may follow depending on experience and performance. For hospitality leaders in Dubai, Doha or Riyadh, this is a considered next move.
