- Restaurant & events manager leading events, reservations, and hosting across a multi-department role
- Be part of a visionary hospitality project with strong entertainment and dining
- A modern work setup with hybrid flexibility & Sun and Mon off
Some venues are simply venues. A select few rise to become destinations. This is one of those rare opportunities: a high-profile Central Coast venue with bold vision, strong backing, and a calendar already attracting serious interest.
With luxury dining, a bustling events calendar, and a strong entertainment program in the pipeline, this is a dynamic, multifaceted operation set to become a staple of the coastal hospitality scene. We’re now looking for a polished and proactive Events & Reservations Manager to take the reins across reservations, private functions, and the guest-facing host team.
Flexibility is at the heart of this role. You can start remotely or at a sister venue while the site is completed, then move into a hybrid arrangement that blends onsite connection with the comfort of working from home.
The Role
This is a multi-departmental role that balances structure with style. You’ll be the first point of contact for many guests—the person behind a flawless welcome, an effortless booking process, and the kind of event they’ll remember long after.

Reservations
Managing bookings, large groups, and VIP guests using platforms like SevenRooms (training provided)
Functions & Events
Coordinating inquiries, packages, site tours, and running point on weddings, private parties, and corporate events
Hosting Team

- Creating memorable experiences for wedding, group, and VIP bookings
- Coordinating event details, working closely with the kitchen and service teams
- Managing the host team to ensure exceptional front door service
- Supporting operational setup including packages, SOPs, event menus, and venue tours
- Collaborating on new systems, processes, and initiatives as the venue grows
- Transitioning from outsourced guest communication to in-house bookings
- Working with user-friendly platforms including SevenRooms and MICROS-based systems
- Assisting with venue tours and providing a seamless first contact experience
What We’re Looking For
- Someone active in the local hospitality scene with hands-on experience in high-volume venues
- A people-first communicator who thrives in guest-facing roles and brings genuine charm to every interaction
- Highly organised and proactive with a strong sense of presentation and professionalism
- Confident managing bookings, events, and front-of-house coordination
- Tech savvy and comfortable with platforms such as SevenRooms or similar
- Willing to work weekends or evenings as needed for special events
