About the Role
We are looking for a passionate and talented Assistant Restaurant Manager at Gowings, QT Sydney. You'll bring energy, talent, and a guest‑focused mindset to one of the city's most iconic and design‑driven dining destinations. Rooted in history but made for now, Gowings is where classic steakhouse theatrics meet Sydney's freshest flair — flames leap, martinis are wheeled tableside, and handmade pastas steal the spotlight. It's where old‑school technique meets modern expression: punchy, polished, and never without a side of drama.
In this role, you'll support and inspire a passionate team to deliver an elevated food and beverage experience, championing a distinctive wine program and curated spirits while driving service standards in a fast‑paced, design‑driven environment. With a team‑first attitude and a commitment to excellence, you'll play a key part in crafting unforgettable guest moments.
