Front of House Duty Manager

placeWellington calendar_month 

We’re not your average burger bar – we’re loud, fun, and proudly unpretentious. From lunch rushes to late-night cravings, we keep things moving and make sure every guest leaves happy (and full). As our new Duty Manager, you’ll be at the heart of it all — helping to lead our awesome FOH team during service; by keeping the floor humming, and ensuring service standards stay sky-high.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Creating exceptional dining experiences and ensuring guests feel welcome, looked after, and keen to return
  • Running smooth, efficient shifts and keeping the FOH team sharp, positive, and on their game
  • Supporting the Restaurant Manager and Owner in fostering a team culture that’s supportive, professional, and fun
  • Supervising, coaching, and motivating staff while leading by example
  • Making sure we comply with the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act — keeping everyone safe, responsible, and within the law
  • Handling customer issues with confidence and a cool head
  • Taking care of open/close procedures, floor management, and day-to-day admin tasks as needed

What We’re Looking For:

  • A current Duty Manager’s Certificate (essential)
  • Previous experience in a hospitality leadership or supervisory role
  • A genuine love for hospo and an eye for detail
  • Strong leadership and communication skills — you’re someone others look up to
  • Confidence with booking systems, POS, and all things floor service
  • An upbeat attitude and a calm presence, even during a busy rush

What You’ll Get:

  • A fun, fast-paced work environment with a team that has your back
  • Staff meals, cheeky discounts, and a supportive management team
  • A chance to grow your skills and be part of one of Wellington’s most iconic casual dining spots
  • Consistent hours with flexibility where needed

At Burger Liquor, we serve more than just food — we serve good times, and good people, by good people. If you’re ready to lead, inspire, and be part of a place where people work hard and laugh harder, we want to hear from you.

You must be available to start before August, ready for Wellington On A Plate.
  • Apply now with your CV and a quick cover letter telling us why you’re the next legend we need on the floor.
