The Royal Oak is a busy, established Eastern Suburbs pub with a strong local following. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being on the floor, leading a team and creating a great pub experience — someone who notices the details, takes ownership and knows how to run a strong service.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced hospitality manager or supervisor looking to take on more responsibility and continue developing their career.

• Monitoring service standards and stepping in wherever the team needs support
• Managing opening and closing procedures
• Cash handling and other shift management responsibilities
• Supporting stock control, ordering and operational processes
• Managing customer feedback and resolving issues professionally
• Maintaining RSA, gaming, WHS and other compliance requirements
• Supporting the training and development of team members
• Working with the management team to continually improve the venue and customer experience

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has previous experience in a hospitality management or supervisory role
• Is confident leading a team and running a busy service
• Leads from the floor rather than from the office
• Has a strong eye for detail and takes pride in venue presentation
• Understands what great pub service looks like

• Communicates well with customers and team members
• Remains organised and makes good decisions under pressure
• Is reliable, positive and comfortable taking ownership of a shift

• The opportunity to make an impact and continue developing your management career

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to help run a great pub.
