Accor Hq Melbourne Restaurant jobs in Tarneit VIC

About us

Felix is a 50-seater restaurant & bar tucked up Downes Lane, within Geelong’s bustling Lt. Malop St precinct. We opened in May 2021 and are looking to expand operations and our team into 2025 and beyond.

Our menu is French inspired, sourcing the freshest ingredients. The drinks list evolves constantly and is inspired by the best small-scale wineries, breweries and cocktail bars from around the globe.

We are proud to be the sister restaurant to:

• Alma - a South American inspired restaurant who has been quietly kicking goals since 2017
• Barwon Edge - bringing fresh Middle Eastern flavours to a gorgeous site on the banks of the Barwon River
• Our newest addition to the group - The Batesford Hotel, our modern take on a classic country pub.

Despite our unique food & drink offerings we share the same ethos of providing great value for money in a warm and welcoming environment.

Ideal employer

We think we’re a pretty good employer. Here’s a look at what we think sets us apart from other workplaces. We:

• Are an inclusive workplace. None of that front of house vs. back of house drama you may have dealt in the past.
• Are a respectful workplace. We’re not here to yell at you – we all know what we want to achieve and how to get there.
• Provide full and ongoing training to our staff to make sure they have the tools to do their job well.
• Offer a great work life balance (e.g. an actual 2 or 3 day straight break) and very reasonable weekly working hours. We are flexible with your hours to meet your personal circumstances.

We will offer permanent positions to the right candidates – we want to create a sustainable team to help us grow as a restaurant group.

Ideal candidate

We're looking for an experienced restaurant section waiter who can open or close a restaurant. We want someone who will bring their passion for food & drinks, warm personality & strong sense of professionalism to the team.

We take a flexible approach to hiring – but we do have a few dealbreakers. These are the basics we need all candidates to bring to the table. You:

• Can comfortably manage a section in an a la carte setting
• Have experience taking/managing bookings and juggling floorplans
• Can delegate tasks to team members and communicate respectfully, even when busy
• Will have a keen eye for detail and an intuition for guest satisfaction

Bonus points

We will give you bonus points for

• experience and/or formal training in wine, beer & spirits tasting as well as cocktail making and development
• experience in fine dining
• a love of dad jokes.

At the end of the day experience is important to us – but is not a deal breaker. We believe that passion, attitude and a desire to learn are just as important as your last job.

Please note you must be eligible for work in Australia before applying for this job. We are not in a position to sponsor candidates.
