Restaurant Manager

Warm and welcoming, ANTARA 128 is a bakery and eating house open from dawn to dusk. The service moves through the day, starting with the on-site bakery in the morning before progressing into the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Laidback, yet with polish to our service, we’re a touch of Europe mixed with Melbourne. 

Our group boasts a collection of world-class hospitality venues including hatted ARU and SUNDA_, sustainable wine bar PARCS and gluten-free bakery KUDO, each offering unique experiences for our valued guests. At the heart of our success is a passion for exceptional service and a commitment to excellence in all that we do. We are driven by a deep appreciation for the art of hospitality, and our mission is to create unforgettable experiences that exceed guest expectations, constantly striving to innovate and evolve to meet their ever-changing needs.

We welcome positive, passionate, honest and hardworking individuals into our team and commit ourselves to the highest professional standards. We support integrity and initiative and we strive to give opportunities for personal and professional development in a supportive environment.

With us, you will:

• Grow your career, with endless opportunities for progression across our ever-expanding restaurant group;
• Be part of a management team that places high value on culture and the well-being of our team;
• Work in a venue where your creative input is encouraged;

We are in search of a Restaurant Manager with a genuine passion for hospitality and people, who is proactive and dedicated to leading our team to be the best they can be whilst delivering an exceptional dining experience for our guests.
