Venue Manager - Urgent Hiring

Belles is an American-diner style casual restaurant and bar founded by two fine dining chefs and a maitre d in Fitzroy 10-years ago. Now with 6 busy restaurants between Sydney and Melbourne, people know us for our infamous hot chicken, easy-drinking booze, soulful tunes and super warm service.

While on the surface we may appear like another great neighbourhood restaurant or chicken joint, at Belles it's all the 1%-ers that set us apart. Live-streaming DJ radio, Belles Original Draught on tap and the obsession we have with our guest experience, team culture and the best chicken!

Belles Barangaroo is our high-volume, fast and furious spot on the waterfront. Primarily takeaway and QR-order-to-table, we're focused on serving-up Sydney's best fried chicken with awesome speed, quality and vibes.

Right now, we’re looking for a career driven and passionate Venue Manager to join the Belles family.

In this role you'll be leading venue operations, services and our team supported by our Senior GM and partners with the opportunity to progress to a General Manager role.

Experience, Skills & Attitude required:

• At least 2-years experience in a leadership role in a busy QSR where volume, quality, speed and culture are equal focuses
• A genuine love for looking after people - including great banter - both our guests and our team
• An obsessive level of detail and organisation - and loves a checklist!
• A passion for training and mentoring in both service and product knowledge - a true leader by example and coach, not a ‘manager’
• Professionalism and the ability to proactively lead the FOH and kitchen team to meet all Belles standards for every service
• A real glass-half-full mentality - we love troubleshooting issues with ease, care and without stress
• Loves and thrives in a busy service - that sweet sweet spot where all tables are full, food and drinks are flying out, the speakers are pumping and there's a wait list for our house of golden good

What we offer you:

• An attractive base salary
• Weekly performance incentive
• Centrally located (and water views) - on Barangaroo, just minutes from public transport
• A staff meal on the house for every service you work
• A high-energy, high-care culture driven by a passionate and supportive team
• Generous staff discount
• The opportunity to grow and progress with a fast-growing company
• Hands-on coaching and leadership by Belles co-owners who work on the ground and lead from the front

Sound like you? Amazing! We'd love for you to apply directly via Seek!
