FOH Assistant Manager

We’re not your average pizza joint – and we don’t want your average Assistant Manager.

Ollie’s Pizza Parlour is a Brunswick staple: a laid-back, no-fuss slice of good times with a big heart and even bigger flavours. We’re all about hand-stretched dough, cold beers, live tunes drifting over from next door at Stay Gold, and a vibe that feels like your mate’s house party (if your mate happened to be very good at making pizza).

We’re now looking for a Front of House Assistant Manager who can bring energy, leadership, and a healthy amount of hustle to the team — someone who loves service, keeps things running smooth, and knows that a cheeky grin goes a long way.

This is a hands-on, full-time role where you’ll be right in the thick of it: running the floor, leading shifts, keeping standards high, and making sure every guest feels like a regular. You’ll work closely with our Venue Manager and owners to help steer Ollie’s into its next chapter.

A little about Ollie’s

Tucked into the heart of Brunswick, Ollie’s is a proper neighbourhood hangout. It’s the spot you roll into for a pizza before a gig, a midweek dinner with mates, or whenever you’re craving something easy and excellent.

The menu is simple and banging: hand-stretched pizzas made from the best local  ingredients, a fridge full of independent beers and wines, and a few cheeky cocktails if you’re feeling fancy.

But the real secret sauce? The people. We’re a small, passionate team that actually likes working together (wild, right?). The tunes are good, the service is warm, and the vibe is always just the right side of messy.

Why are we hiring?

Ollie’s is growing, and we’re ready to add another leader to the family. Someone who loves hospitality, thrives on a busy floor, and knows how to balance fun with focus. You’ll be a key part of our management team and help keep the good times (and pizzas) rolling.

What you'll be doing

• Running shifts and leading the FOH team during service

• Keeping the floor pumping, the vibes high, and the standards higher

• Training and mentoring junior staff

• Helping with ordering and venue admin

• Jumping in wherever needed – host, bartender, pizza hype person

• Working closely with the Venue Manager, kitchen crew and owners to deliver banging service and smashing our goals

What you’ll bring

• Solid experience in a busy hospo venue (pizza experience = bonus points)

• Leadership skills that are more "lead by example" than "power trip"

• A sharp eye for detail, a cool head under pressure, and a natural people person

• Strong understanding of service, stock control, and a basic handle on numbers

• A sense of humour and love for a team environment

• Bonus points if you know your way around a cocktail shaker or wine list

Why you’ll love working at Ollie’s

• Work in a tight-knit, down-to-earth team that actually cares

• Competitive salary and good work-life balance (seriously)

• Room to grow with a young, expanding venue

• Great tunes, good food, and no late-night lock-ins (we’re all about the healthy hospo life)

• Be part of something genuinely local, with owners who are hands-on and have your back
