Pholklore is looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and groundedFront of House (FOH) Manager to lead service operations across our new Caloundra venue.

Manage onboarding, performance, and conflict resolution using Pholklore's HR frameworks.
Create rosters, manage labour costs, and ensure the venue is always appropriately staffed.
Venue Operations
Oversee daily FOH operations including service, cleanliness, and opening/closing procedures.
Ensure exceptional customer experiences are delivered consistently.
Support stock control, supplier orders, and POS accuracy related to FOH operations.
Digital Systems & Reporting
