About the role

MELBOURNE’S NEXT BIG CASUAL DINING DESTINATION IS ARRIVING THIS NOVEMBER.

Wishbone is the newest concept from Lucas Collective, the group behind some of Australia’s most iconic restaurants, bringing the energy of Hong Kong’s street food culture and neighbourhood diners to Melbourne’s CBD.

Think bold flavours, quality ingredients, a buzzing atmosphere and genuinely great hospitality - all brought together in a fast-paced new dining experience with plenty of personality.

We’re building the Wishbone team now. Join us from day one and play a part in launching one of Melbourne’s most exciting new openings.

About Lucas Collective

Home to some of Australia’s most iconic and acclaimed restaurants, Lucas Collective is one of the country’s leading hospitality groups, with a collection including Chin Chin, Kisumé, Hawker Hall, Maison Bâtard, Baby Pizza, Yakimono, Society, Grill Americano and Tombo Den.

For more than 30 years, Lucas Collective has played a significant role in shaping Australia’s hospitality landscape, developing restaurants that challenge convention, establish new benchmarks and become destinations in their own right. Our venues have earned top Australian hospitality awards, including Maison Bâtard being named Australia’s Best New Restaurant in 2025, along with international recognition for excellence in food, wine and hospitality.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for exceptional hospitality leaders to join our opening teams. Play a key role in shaping the culture, leading high-performing teams and creating memorable experiences for our guests. Join a group that’s as committed to developing great people as it is to creating great restaurants.

What you’ll bring:

Proven leadership experience in a quality à la carte restaurant.
Strong operational knowledge across compliance, labour, rostering, time and attendance, stock and inventory management systems.
A passion for developing, coaching, and inspiring high-performing teams.
A commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.
The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
Excellent communication, organisation, and time management skills.
Restaurant opening experience is highly regarded but not essential.
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, public holidays, and opening or closing shifts.
A current RSA certificate.
A qualification in Hospitality, Management, or a related discipline is advantageous.

Why Lucas Collective?
We invest in our people. You’ll have access to:

Genuine career progression across our growing collection of venues
Industry-leading training, development and masterclasses
Lucas Education and specialist wine and sake programs
Opportunities to learn from award winning hospitality leaders
Generous dining discounts across our venues
A supportive, high-performing and collaborative team environment

Your career doesn’t have to follow one path. With Lucas Collective, there are plenty of places to go.

Whether you’re looking to take the next step in your career or build a long-term future in hospitality, Lucas Collective gives you the opportunity to work alongside some of the best talent in the industry, across some of Australia’s most celebrated venues.

If you’re passionate about hospitality, hungry to learn and ready to be part of something exceptional, we’d love to hear from you.
