Venue Manager | Multi-outlet Hospitality Operation

Lead a thriving hospitality operation where no two days are the same.

The Fresh Collective is seeking an experienced, hands-on Venue Manager to lead our food and beverage operations at Strathfield Golf Club.

This isn’t your typical restaurant management role.

You’ll oversee a diverse operation including our busy Bistro 18, the popular Halfway Kiosk, and a growing events business delivering everything from golf days and corporate functions to weddings, celebrations and last-minute memorial services.

It’s a role for someone who enjoys variety, thrives under pressure and takes pride in running an operation that simply works.

If you’re the type of manager who naturally spots problems before anyone else, builds strong teams and rolls up your sleeves when service gets busy, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day leadership of all Fresh Collective food and beverage operations at Strathfield Golf Club.

You’ll lead from the floor, coach and develop your team, manage financial performance and ensure every guest receives a consistently great experience.

This is a highly operational role where you’ll be balancing retail service, member dining and a busy functions calendar, often all at once.

What You’ll Be Doing

·         Leading and developing a team of supervisors and front of house staff

·         Creating an engaging, positive workplace culture with high standards and accountability

·         Delivering exceptional guest experiences for members, golfers, locals and event guests

·         Managing Bistro 18, the Halfway Kiosk and all Fresh Collective functions

·         Planning labour, rosters and resources to meet changing business demands

·         Managing food and beverage costs, stock control and financial performance

·         Working closely with Club management to ensure smooth daily operations

·         Resolving operational challenges quickly and professionally

·         Driving service standards, training and continuous improvement across the venue

About You

You’ll already have experience leading a busy hospitality operation and be ready for a role where you’ll have genuine ownership and autonomy.

You’ll be someone who:

·         Leads from the floor rather than behind a desk and builds positive relationships with guests, members and stakeholders

·         Builds strong, motivated teams

·         Enjoys coaching and developing people

·         Is calm under pressure and thrives in a fast-moving environment

·         Can juggle multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

·         Takes initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do

·         Has strong commercial awareness and understands labour, food costs and profitability

·         Is organised, practical and solutions-focused

·         Experience managing restaurants, clubs, pubs, hotels or multi-outlet hospitality operations will be highly regarded.
