About Our Client:

TONE All Day Lounge is an effortlessly cool, all-day destination in Canggu, built on a simple yet powerful philosophy: One room. All day. Coffee, cocktails, vinyl. Functioning as the ultimate living room for the local creative in-crowd, we seamlessly transition from a serious morning coffee program to an elevated midnight cocktail bar, all anchored by an honest, fire-driven kitchen and a curated, vinyl-first soundscape. We offer a quiet counter-programming to the typical beach club circuit - our vibe is rooted in genuine warmth, impeccable taste, and a welcoming no-VIP culture where visitors instantly feel like regulars. Because our true product is a beautifully composed guest experience driven by taste over spectacle, we are seeking discerning, warm, and effortlessly confident hospitality professionals who can flawlessly set the tone and look after our community from the first morning flat white to the last midnight negroni.

What You Will Contribute:

As the General Manager of TONE All Day Lounge, you will be the operational architect and cultural ambassador behind our highly anticipated pre-opening in Canggu. Reporting directly to the Owner and Director, you will lead the venue from its final construction phases through a flawless grand opening and into daily operations. Your primary focus will be driving commercial success, curating an impeccable room atmosphere, and seamlessly bridging the operational gap between a high-volume daytime specialty coffee program and a high-end, late-night cocktail lounge.

What You Will Do:

• Manage the entire pre-opening critical path, including operational setup, licensing support, vendor onboarding, and the execution of soft and grand opening strategies.
• Ensure a flawless daily transition in service style, lighting, and energy from a morning coffee hub to an evening cocktail lounge, maintaining TONE's curated pacing.
• Take full ownership of the P&L. Drive revenue growth, formulate budgets, manage operational expenses, and optimize Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for both F&B programs.
• Cultivate TONE's warm, no-VIP culture. Look after the community ensuring the space feels like the in-crowd's living room, where taste and hospitality are felt, not forced.
• Oversee the operational quality of the fire-driven kitchen, the specialty coffee bar, and the cocktail program, while coordinating with resident selectors to ensure the vinyl-first soundscape perfectly complements the room's energy.
• Recruit, train, and mentor a front-of-house and back-of-house team that embodies TONE's quietly confident persona—delivering composed, unhurried, and highly attentive service.
• Develop and implement comprehensive SOPs for all departments, ensuring strict adherence to quality, hygiene, and inventory control standards.
• Maintain transparent and accurate communication with the Ownership through regular financial, operational, and market performance reports.

Who We're Looking For:

• Minimum 5–7 years of progressive F&B management experience, with at least 2–3 years as a General Manager or Venue Manager in a premium lifestyle restaurant, high-end cafe, or cocktail lounge.
• Proven pre-opening experience in the F&B sector is highly preferred.
• Deep understanding of both specialty coffee operations and craft cocktail programs, with a solid grasp of high-quality kitchen operations (fire-driven kitchen experience is a plus).
• Exceptional business acumen with a solid track record in P&L accountability, budget management, and vendor negotiations.
• A culturally aligned individual who understands the Canggu creative/expat scene, appreciates vinyl music culture, and embodies an effortlessly hospitable personality.
• Strong leadership qualities with the ability to build, train, and inspire a diverse team in a fast-paced, all-day operating environment.
• Excellent communication skills in fluent English (Bahasa Indonesia is a strong plus for expatriates, mandatory for local candidates).
• Highly organized, adaptable, and capable of setting the standard for taste and service without micromanaging the cool out of the room.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary (negotiable based on qualifications)
• Religious Holiday Allowance (THR)
• BPJS Health & Employment Coverage
• Meal Allowance
• Service Charge
