About this role
We're looking for a Restaurant Manager to take ownership of one of our high-volume North Brisbane restaurants — with the added opportunity to develop your skills by supporting our other restaurants across the North Brisbane area.
This is a great next step if you want exposure beyond a single site: you'll build experience managing across multiple restaurants, work alongside other leaders in the region, and set yourself up for the next level of growth within GYG — whether that's a bigger restaurant, an area support role, or franchise ownership down the track.
You'll take full ownership of the day-to-day running of your restaurant, lift the guest experience from excellent to remarkable, coach and develop your team, and manage inventory and financial performance — while flexing into neighbouring North Brisbane restaurants as needed to share your experience and pick up new ones.
