Why Use a Specialist Recruiter for Front of House Manager Roles?

Cookatoo places permanent FOH Managers in WA's restaurants, bars, hotels and event venues, sourcing candidates who lead by example and create the kind of guest experience that brings people back.

Cookatoo is a Perth-based hospitality recruitment agency founded by someone who has worked the industry from the ground up, starting as a dishwasher in Perth at 16, through to Michelin-starred kitchens in London. Every placement is permanent, and every recommendation is personal.

We don't fill seats. We find people who fit.

The Australian HR Institute found that 68 per cent of hospitality workers leave within their first year. A bad hire costs up to three times the role's annual salary, and key positions in WA sit unfilled for an average of six weeks. Permanent recruitment, done well, solves all three problems at once.

Permanent Only

No temp placements. We build teams that stay.

Industry-Led

Founded by a hospitality professional, not a generalist recruiter.

No Placement, No Fee

You only pay when we find the right person.

WA-Based

Local knowledge, state-wide reach.
