About Sana Mediterranean

At Sana Mediterranean, we believe healthy food should never mean compromising on flavour, quality or enjoyment.

Inspired by the vibrant flavours and generosity of Mediterranean hospitality, we're bringing a fresh perspective to the way Australians eat. Our food is chef-driven, made with quality ingredients and designed to make eating well something people genuinely look forward to.

But Sana is about more than what's on the plate.

We're building a hospitality brand where great food, genuine human connection and a positive team culture come together. We believe in looking after our people, making every guest feel welcome and creating restaurants that become part of their local communities.

With a growing presence across Sydney and ambitious plans for the future, we're looking for passionate hospitality leaders who share our values and want to help shape what comes next.

The Opportunity

We're looking for Restaurant Managers who love food, love people and take pride in creating exceptional hospitality experiences.

This isn't just about running a restaurant. It's about creating an environment where your team enjoys coming to work, your guests love coming back and the little things are done exceptionally well.

You'll have the opportunity to take genuine ownership of your restaurant, develop a high-performing team and contribute to the growth of an exciting Australian hospitality brand.

We're looking for leaders who bring energy, positivity and accountability to everything they do. People who lead by example, care about the details and understand that great restaurant performance starts with great people.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead and inspire your team

• Build a positive, inclusive and high-performing restaurant culture.
• Coach, mentor and develop your team to reach their potential.
• Lead from the front, bringing energy, warmth and enthusiasm to every shift.
• Create an environment where people feel valued, supported and proud to represent Sana.

Deliver food and hospitality we're proud of

• Champion Sana's commitment to fresh, flavourful, high-quality Mediterranean food.
• Ensure every guest receives genuine, welcoming and memorable hospitality.
• Maintain exceptional standards of food quality, presentation, cleanliness and food safety.

• Bring ideas, initiative and a solutions-focused mindset to the business.

Help shape the future of Sana

• Work closely with our leadership team to continually improve how we operate.
• Contribute to new initiatives, restaurant openings and operational improvements.
• Share your ideas and help build a business that gets better every day.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys hospitality and understands that how you make people feel is just as important as what you serve.

You'll ideally bring:

• Proven experience leading a restaurant or hospitality team, preferably within fast-casual dining, QSR or a high-volume environment.
• A people-first leadership style, with the ability to inspire, coach and develop others.
• A genuine passion for fresh food, healthy eating and exceptional hospitality.
• Strong commercial awareness and the confidence to manage restaurant performance.
• Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.
• A hands-on approach and willingness to lead alongside your team.
• A positive attitude, strong work ethic and pride in doing things properly.
• The ambition to grow personally and professionally as Sana continues to expand.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who shares our belief that great businesses are built by great people doing great things together.

What's in It for You?

We want Sana to be a place where talented hospitality people can build meaningful, long-term careers.

Here's what you can look forward to:

• Competitive salary: $80,000–$90,000 + Superannuation, depending on experience.
• Real career progression: Opportunities to grow into Area Management, multi-site leadership, training, new restaurant openings and broader operations roles.
• A growing Australian brand: Join at an exciting stage and play a meaningful role in shaping our future.

Why Sana?

Because we believe hospitality should be good for everyone.

Good for our guests, who deserve delicious, nourishing healthy food and genuine hospitality.

Good for our teams, who deserve great leadership, meaningful opportunities and a workplace they enjoy being part of.

And good for our communities, where we want our restaurants to become places people feel connected to.

We're ambitious about where Sana is going, but we're equally passionate about how we get there.

We're not simply looking for someone to manage a restaurant. We're looking for someone who wants to build a great team, create memorable guest experiences and grow with us.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
