Busy, family-run and open to the air, an Italian trattoria in Cairns is looking for a Restaurant Supervisor who can lead service on the floor. Homestyle Italian dishes are served from breakfast until late all seven days of the week, alongside a wine list that rewards the curious.
As supervisor you run shifts, look after the team and take ownership of the guest experience, and for the right person there is a direct pathway into management with the chance to learn how the business side works. Full Australian work rights are required, and sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
