Description

About El Jannah

El Jannah began in 1998 in Granville, Sydney, with a simple idea: serve honest, authentic Lebanese-Australian food that brings people together. More than two decades on, our charcoal chicken, bold flavours and energetic restaurants have made us one of Australia’s most loved food brands, with restaurants across NSW, the ACT and Victoria. As we grow, we stay focused on what matters most: great food, great people and genuine connection.

About the Role

Working closely with the Restaurant Manager, you’ll help lead the team, drive high standards across food quality, service, safety and cleanliness, and contribute to strong commercial performance. As part of the team, you’ll also help train our crew and set the culture and standards that every future El Jannah will be measured against.

This is a hands-on leadership role suited to someone who enjoys being on the floor, leading from the front and building a positive, high-performing team culture. Whether you’re an experienced Assistant Manager, a Shift Leader ready for more responsibility, or a senior team member ready to step up, this is a rare opportunity to grow with a brand that invests in its leaders, from day one in a brand-new state.

Supporting the Restaurant Manager in leading daily restaurant operations

Championing the EJ Way and a guest-first culture, ensuring consistently high service standards

Leading, coaching and developing team members

Supporting recruitment, onboarding and performance management

Overseeing food safety, cleanliness and WHS standards

Managing stock levels, deliveries and inventory controls

What We’re Looking For

1-2 years’ experience in a QSR or fast-paced hospitality environment

Strong organisational and time-management skills

A genuine passion for food, people and guest experience

Availability to work flexible rosters, including evenings, weekends and the busy summer season

If you’re passionate about leading people, delivering great food and opening a restaurant you’ll be proud of, we’d love to hear from you.
