Introduction:
About The San Telmo Group:
Founded in Melbourne in 2011, The San Telmo Group operates six unique hospitality venues: San Telmo, Palermo, Asado, Pastuso, Robata, and our newest venue, San Telmo Brisbane.

We believe exceptional hospitality starts with exceptional people. That's why we invest heavily in recruitment, training, career development and internal promotion, creating genuine long-term opportunities for our team. One of our current Directors started with the Group as a Kitchen Hand - this is a reflection of the opportunities available to those who want to grow with us.

About the Role:
Join Asado — Melbourne's premium South American steakhouse overlooking the Yarra River at Southbank — as a Full-Time Section Waiter. Inspired by the traditional Argentinian asado, Asado is renowned for its wood-fired cooking, premium wines and warm hospitality. This is an opportunity to deliver exceptional dining experiences while working alongside an experienced and passionate front-of-house team in one of Melbourne's most unique restaurants.

Reporting to a Restaurant Supervisor, you'll receive dedicated monthly appraisals, genuine professional support and ongoing opportunities to develop your skills while delivering exceptional guest experiences in a fast-paced, premium venue.

In the Section Waiter role, your day-to-day will involve:
•
Managing your own section while delivering attentive, professional table service

•
Building rapport with guests and creating memorable dining experiences

•
Confidently recommending food and beverages using strong product knowledge

•
Maintaining exceptional presentation and attention to detail throughout service

•
Working closely with the bar, kitchen and management teams to ensure seamless service

•
Handling guest feedback professionally while contributing to a positive team culture

Our successful candidate will have:
•
1–2 years' experience as a Section Waiter in a premium, high-volume venue

•
Passion for hospitality, food and wine

•
Strong communication skills and the ability to build genuine rapport with guests

•
Valid working rights in Australia

•
Team-first mindset with a positive, professional attitude

Our Culture:
People enjoy working at The San Telmo Group because we invest in our team as much as our guests. One of our current Directors started with us as a Kitchen Hand — that's not a tagline, it's a fact. We run structured rosters that respect your time outside work, fund your professional development, and foster a collaborative environment where your ideas are genuinely valued.

What We Can Offer You:
•
Generous tips paid on top of wages every week

•
Access to monthly incentives - we reward good performance!

•
Permanent Full-Time employment with 38-40 hours/week - job security, but with work-life balance!

•

•
Prime Southbank location overlooking the Yarra River with excellent public transport access

•
Monthly appraisals and development plan reviews, so you'll always know how you're tracking!

•
Fully funded external leadership and hospitality management training

•
Genuine career progression across six growing venues - we promote from within!

•
Work alongside some of Melbourne's most experienced hospitality professionals
