Restaurant Manager

About Us

Harry's Bondi is one of Sydney's most loved beachside venues, a place where great food, strong community, and an effortless Bondi energy come together.
We're part of The Harry's Family, a growing hospitality group with multiple venues across Bondi Beach. We take what we do seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously.
The Role We're looking for an experienced Venue Manager to lead the team at Harry's Bondi. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll own the day-to-day operation, build a high-performing team, and help shape what Harry's Bondi looks and feels like for our guests.
This role spans weekdays and weekends, we need someone who leads from the floor and thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.

What You'll Do

• Lead, motivate, and develop a team that delivers exceptional guest experiences every shift
• Oversee day-to-day operations across floor, bar, and kitchen coordination
• Drive staffing - rostering, recruitment, onboarding, and performance management
• Manage venue costs including labour, COGS, and waste with a strong focus on profitability and margin
• Actively contribute to menu development and product innovation - bringing ideas that make commercial sense and fit our brand
• Stay across food, beverage, and hospitality trends and help translate them into what works for Harry's
• Work alongside ownership and operations on brand direction, activations, and events
• Maintain venue standards, compliance, and a culture that people want to be part of
• Contribute to marketing initiatives and community-building efforts where relevant

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Venue Manager in a high-volume, quality-driven environment
• A natural leader who people genuinely want to follow
• Strong grasp of staffing, rostering, and building team culture
• Commercially sharp - you understand GP, labour cost, and how to run a profitable venue without compromising the experience
• A creative eye for product - you get excited about menus, specials, and new offerings, and know how to develop them with the kitchen and bar team
• Trend-aware and brand-literate - you follow what's happening in hospitality, food, and culture, and know how to filter that through our brand lens
• An understanding of marketing, social, and what it takes to grow a brand
• Local to Bondi or the Eastern Suburbs - we want someone invested in this community
• Available to work a 7-day operation including weekends
• Someone who sees this as more than a job - you want to grow with a group, not just fill a seat

What's On Offer

• A genuine seat at the table in a growing hospitality group
• The chance to manage one of Sydney's most iconic beachside venues
• Competitive salary package commensurate with experience
• A culture that values good people, good energy, and real ownership
• Opportunities to grow across The Harry's Family as the group expands
