About 555

Located at the gateway to the iconic Great Ocean Rd, 555 is set to become a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. With rolling hills planted with native botanicals, an artisanal perfumery and specialised native nursey, we're creating an immersive food and retail experience centred around Australia's native flora.

Potential for accommodation support if needed

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced operator to lead the charge on our café, patisserie and night-offering. Think The Grounds of Alexandria or The Farm in Byron Bay – relaxed, outdoor vibes, Australian native botanicals, a food-forward offering, and systems that run like clockwork.

The Role

As an entrepreneurial leader you’ll:

Lead fit out and develop the concept for the venue
Hire and build your own team
Design the menu
Ensuring compliance to standards and set up systems (POS, ordering, suppliers)
Create the culture you’ve always wanted to work in – with an eye to exceptional guest service
Manage all stock, ordering, and kitchen operations
There is plenty of room to make this your own – write the 555 cookbook, develop your own line of condiments featuring native ingredients! You’ll have support from an ownership team with runs on the board in both hospitality and retail.

About You

Suit an experienced manager wanting to take the next step or an experienced owner-operator wanting a new venture without the financial risk
Strong leadership skills to build a team and maintain standards
Business savvy with cost control and efficiency expertise
Proficient in kitchen systems, stock management, and compliance
Experience in seasonal/tourist locations valuable
