A family-run Cairns trattoria with an open-air dining room serves homestyle Italian from breakfast right through to late, seven days a week, and curates a wine list that rewards curiosity. It is recruiting a Restaurant Supervisor to lead the floor, run shifts, look after the team and own the guest experience.
Management is the destination for the right person, and you pick up the business side of the restaurant along the way. This role is open to applicants already in Australia with full working rights. Sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
