The Role

Spicers Hidden Vale is seeking a Restaurant Manager to join the team.

About Homage Restaurant

Set on 12,000 acres, just one hour from Brisbane and upon some of the most fertile farming soil in the Southern Hemisphere, Homage Restaurant has a real sense of place. With offerings from an outdoor coal pit, smokehouse, wood-fire and rotisserie. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do - including sustainability of our people.

We have an 89 bed market garden, fermentation room, orchard, bee hives and free range farm onsite, meaning that much of the produce is from Spicers Hidden Vale itself and anything that’s not, is collected directly from nearby farms. It's the small things, like ‘family meal time’ before service, having the opportunity to work outside in the garden and interacting with our guests that make the difference.

The role and key duties;

• Curate an unforgettable and personalised experience for our guests from start to finish;
• Forge loyal relationships with guests and locals to promote repeated clientele;
• Lead and inspire a team of dedicated restaurant staff, providing guidance, training, and performance feedback;
• Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and company policies throughout the restaurant;
• Assist in managing inventory, controlling costs, and optimising profitability;
• Maximize and identify opportunities to sell products & experiences that suit the needs of our guests;
• Coaching of your restaurant team to uphold service and quality standards.

Essential criteria required to be considered; 

• Minimum of 2 years experience as a Restaurant Manager from within a fine dining, high end or hatted restaurant environment;
• Strong understanding of food and beverage operations and a keen interest in developing these skills;
• Strong wine knowledge and desire to grow and maintain a wine list;
• Demonstrated financial acumen in relation to running a profitable restaurant;
• Sound understanding of back of house operations including stock takes, COG's and rostering;
• A genuine love for great food and wine;
• WSET level 2 or CMS certification (desirable);
