Job Description

Assistant Manager | Mt Pleasant Tavern

Are you a hospitality professional ready to run the floor at one of the busiest suburban taverns in Mackay? The Mt Pleasant Tavern is searching for a floor-focused, service-driven Assistant Manager who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to keep a large crew firing on all cylinders.

"The Mt Pleasant" is a buzzing local centerpiece. Whether it's managing a packed weekend dinner rush in the family bistro, running a high-tempo sports bar during major live games, or overseeing our top-tier gaming room operations, this venue requires a leader who loves being right at the heart of a high-velocity trade. We need someone with sharp operational instincts who can maintain elite standards and ensure our tight-knit community of regulars receives gold-class hospitality on every shift.

A day in the life of an Assistant Manager:

• Get to know the locals so well they think you’re part of the crew
• Support the Publican to keep the pub running smoothly, safely, and with a great vibe
• Learn the ropes of being a Publican while leading a team of absolute hospo legends
• Handle hiccups before they turn into headaches
• Bring the energy, the service, and the smiles every single shift

Inherent requirements:

• This is a hands-on role that involves manual handling and lifting as part of regular duties (e.g. moving stock, kegs, and deliveries). Applicants must have the ability to perform physical tasks safely and efficiently.

About you:

• You’ve been around the bar, bistro, or gaming room block, and maybe already done some supervising
• You’ve learned from great managers and now you’re ready to step up
• You’ve got the confidence, pride, and people skills to be the face of the pub when the boss is away
• You’ve got a current RSA/RSG, RMLV and Approved Managers Licence as per state requirements

If you’re keen to learn, lead, and laugh while making this pub the best spot in town – we’d love to hear from you.

The benefits are good too!
