Join Bacaro, a Michelin-recommended restaurant and wine bar, in our search for an experienced General Manager to join our team. If you're passionate about hospitality and enjoy leading a team, we welcome you to apply.
What was the inspiration for Bacaro?
While wandering in Venice, you might be lucky enough to stumble upon a bacaro; far from the crowds, tucked away on side streets and alongside canals, a bacaro is a quintessential Northern Italian wine bar. Taking its name from the Venetian word for ‘wine’ or a ‘good bar’, (or perhaps from the ancient Roman god of wine, Bacchus), their ambience and charm can’t help but invite guests in for a bite and an aperitivo – or four. We hope to emulate the same experience in our own city at Bacaro.
The ideal candidate:
- 2+ years of restaurant management experience in a similar role
- Passionate about hospitality (recommended reading: 'Unreasonable Hospitality' by Will Guidara)
- Experience with ordering and inventory management
- Experience with scheduling and payroll
- Labour and cost of goods control experience
- Knowledge of Italian aperitivi, food and wine considered an asset (WSET is a plus!)
- Serving it Right required
- Foodsafe Level 1 required
What you can expect from us:
- Base salary + gratuities + KT Bonus Program
- 50% off food across all Kitchen Table Restaurants and Cafes up to a table of four (13 locations)
- Extended health benefits including vision and dental
- A supportive, positive work environment

Inspired by the bacari of Venice situated far from the crowds tucked away on side streets and alongside canals, giovane bacaro is a modern Italian restaurant that takes influence from the traditional Venetian bacaro.
A bacaro’s warm ambience and charm can’t help but invite guests in. Our fondest memories of frequenting these hidden gems are the inspiration behind giovane bacaro and we hope to emulate the same experience for you in our own city.
Just how Italians don’t stray far from what’s local and in season, our menu is designed with this same concept, featuring a collection of cicchetti, share plates, fresh pastas and decadent dolci. Our chefs maintain strong relationships with the local farms and growers, highlighting a rotating menu with a focus on seasonal ingredients grown locally in British Columbia and prepared with Italian sensibilities.
Italians have long celebrated the tradition of enjoying an aperitivo or glass of wine. At Bacaro, our beverage program features cocktails, spritzes and spirits along with an approachable yet thoughtfully curated wine list that showcases varietals from small, family run wineries of Northern Italy as well as special, standout gems from BC’s own backyard.
Open from lunch to late, join us for a quick spritz and snack, a few drinks with friends, or stay awhile – there are no rules, and that’s the beauty of it.
Giovane Caffe, within the same space of Bacaro, is an all day affair, open for a classic Italian cappuccino in the morning, a midday panini, or an evening treat. There is a sidewalk patio and seats inside.
We are part of Kitchen Table Group, with restaurants including Pourhouse, Ask for Luigi, Di Beppe, Pizzeria Farina, Farina A Legna, Caffe Super Veloce and Carlino.
