• Manage stock control, maintenance, sales reporting, and training schedules
• Oversee recruitment, performance reviews, and career development alongside senior leadership
• Coordinate with the kitchen team (some of whom speak limited English) respectfully and constructively
• Support marketing efforts and promotions to drive new and repeat customers

• Strong leadership and hospitality management experience (ideally in venues with up to 20 staff)
• Confidence coaching both FOH and BOH teams
• Skilled in cost control, reporting, and systems with a high attention to detail
• Willingness to lead from the floor and not just manage from the sidelines
• Open to learning about Chinese cuisine and cocktails (no prior experience required)
• Proactive, collaborative and growth-minded

• $32-$35/hr + tips + performance-based bonus (up to $10k per year)
• Free staff meals on shift
• 50% staff discount across 10 venues
• Annual parking contribution
• Visa support available after 3 months (for the right candidate)
