Restaurant Shift Supervisor

About the role

Reporting to the Restaurant Manager, you'll lead the floor team on each shift, keep service running smoothly and take charge when the manager is off site. This is a hands-on supervisory role: we expect you to serve guests and support the team during quiet periods, not just direct from the sidelines. It's a great next step for a senior waiter or bartender ready to move into leadership, with a clear pathway to Assistant or Restaurant Manager.

• Work hands-on alongside the team, serving guests, running drinks and supporting the floor during quiet periods
• Allocate sections and breaks, coach staff and help train new starters
• Look after guests, manage bookings and table flow, and resolve complaints on the spot
• Handle POS, cash-ups and end-of-shift reporting, and check deliveries and stock
• Uphold responsible service of alcohol, food safety and work health and safety standards

About you

• At least 2 years in restaurant or hospitality, ideally with some team leadership
• Current South Australian RSA certificate
• Full working rights in Australia
• Strong communication skills and a calm, positive manner under pressure
• Confident with POS systems and cash handling
• Available for evenings, weekends and public holidays
• Bonus: food safety and allergen training, First Aid, rostering or booking software, wine and beverage knowledge
