Assistant Venue Manager

Royal Stacks – Moorabbin; Upcoming Second Venue

Full-time | Leadership role | Career progression

Royal Stacks is growing, and we're looking for an experienced, driven and hands-on Assistant Venue Manager to join our leadership team.

This is more than a traditional hospitality management role. We're building a strong leadership structure across our Moorabbin and upcoming second venues, with the opportunity for the right person to grow into a Venue Manager and potentially Area Manager as the business continues to expand.

The Opportunity

We're looking for someone who wants to take ownership.

You will initially join the Moorabbin team, working closely with our existing leadership team and receiving structured training across the business. The goal is for you to develop the skills, confidence and operational knowledge required to eventually take responsibility for our second venue, which is planned to open under our management in November/December.

You'll be expected to become someone we can trust to run a venue — not someone who needs to be told what to do every step of the way.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Leading and motivating the venue team during service
• Maintaining exceptional food, service, cleanliness and presentation standards
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding, training and development of staff
• Assisting with staff performance management and accountability
• Rostering and managing labour to budget
• Monitoring sales, labour, food costs, wastage and overall venue performance
• Managing stock, ordering and inventory control
• Ensuring food safety, OH&S and company procedures are consistently followed
• Handling customer feedback and resolving issues professionally
• Managing opening and closing procedures
• Coordinating maintenance and ensuring the venue is always operating at a high standard
• Reviewing daily/weekly performance and identifying opportunities to improve the business
Working closely with the owners on operational and commercial targets
• 
  

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with genuine leadership ability, not simply someone
with a hospitality title. You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience as an Assistant Manager, Venue Manager, Restaurant Manager, Supervisor or similar
• Experience leading a busy hospitality team
• Strong communication and people-management skills
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail
• The ability to remain calm and make good decisions under pressure
• A strong understanding of labour, stock and operational costs
• A hands-on approach — you're willing to jump on the floor when the team needs you
• Strong accountability and follow-through
• A proactive mindset — you see problems and solve them rather than waiting to be asked
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and busy trading periods

Quick-service restaurant or high-volume hospitality experience will be highly regarded. Most importantly...

We're looking for someone who wants to grow with the business. The ideal candidate will eventually be capable of independently leading a venue, developing their own team and taking responsibility for the venue’s operational and financial performance.

As we continue to grow, there is potential for progression into: Assistant Venue Manager Venue Manager Area Manager

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Genuine career progression
• Structured training and development
• Opportunity to take ownership of a venue
• Direct exposure to the owners and business operations
• A fast-paced environment where your ideas and initiative are valued
• Opportunity to grow with an expanding hospitality group

The Person We're Looking For

If you're someone who:

• Leads from the front.
• Takes ownership.
• Holds yourself and others accountable.
• Thinks commercially.
• Cares about the customer experience.
• And wants to build a career rather than just work another hospitality job — we'd like to hear from you.
