Bar Manager & Content Creator

Madonna Electric is a Brunswick pizza restaurant with an Italo-Australian soul, a loyal following, and a bar that deserves someone who'll actually push it forward — not just maintain it.

We're after an experienced bar professional to take full charge of the bar, Thursday to Monday, and bring a genuine level of craft and consistency to service, recipes, and stock. Alongside that, you'll spend part of your week helping us create content and bring our paid social advertising in-house.

This is a full-time, salaried role — not a casual shift gig. If you're looking for your next long-term home in hospitality, not a stopgap, we want to hear from you.

The Role

Bar Management (approx 30/week, Thurs–Mon)

• Responsible for stock discipline — ordering, par levels, stocktakes, and reducing shrinkage/wastage

• Sets and holds a consistent standard for beverage execution and service style across every shift

• Develops and refines recipes and batch systems — genuine R&D, not just following a sheet

• Manages beverage cost of goods sold to an agreed target

• Runs bar service and is the go-to for any bar issue during trade

• Willing to work the floor when required — this isn't a role to hide behind the bar

Content & Marketing (6 hrs/week)

• Works with us to plan and shoot content — stills and short-form video of the bar, drinks, and service

• Brings Meta and TikTok paid advertising in-house — no more agency middleman

• Some creative input expected, alongside direction from ownership

What You'll Be Measured On (reviewed at 3-month probation)

• Beverage COGS held within a tight 25% target

• Bar stocktake and inventory process converted into a documented, repeatable system

• Pieces of content created and posted per week

• Demonstrated ability to plan and run Meta/TikTok paid ad campaigns in-house

You

• Minimum 2 years' hospitality experience

• Full, unrestricted working rights in Australia

• A genuine bar professional — you know stock, recipes, and batch systems inside out

• You love a clean bar as much as we do

• Comfortable stepping onto the floor when service needs it

• Some familiarity with Square POS is a plus, not a requirement

• Looking for a real, long-term role — not your next stopover

What You Get

• $75,000 + super, full-time, salaried

• Real creative input — including paid ads most bar roles never touch

• A bar program with genuine investment behind it

• Reports directly to ownership — no middle management noise

• A tight team and a venue people actually love
