Our People
Discover the trusted professionals driving innovation and hospitality excellence at Showdownsupper, uniting culinary artistry with refined, offline entertainment.
Leadership
Each leader at Showdownsupper brings a distinct craft – from culinary direction and floor orchestration to cocktail design and the intimate ritual of face-to-face card evenings.
Culinary Visionary
Our Executive Chef crafts premium, season-driven menus that blend classic technique with modern Australian flavours. Each plate is designed to feel both elevated and comforting, anchoring the supper club experience in produce-led cooking.
From shared plates for long, slow evenings to refined late-night tastings, the Chef leads a brigade that treats every course as a quiet performance for the room.
Hospitality Orchestrator
Guided by years of luxury venue management, our Venue Director ensures the entire space moves in harmony – from the pace of the kitchen and bar to the tone of the dining room and card salon.
Lighting, sound, service timing, and guest flow are all tuned carefully so that each evening feels seamless, elegant, and unhurried.
From intimate anniversaries to full venue takeovers, the Director oversees every detail with quiet precision.
Bar & Salon
At the heart of Showdownsupper is an intimate conversation between the bar and the card tables – a place where crafted drinks meet thoughtful, face-to-face games.
Cocktail Architect
Meticulously designing creative cocktails and rare spirits pairings, our Lead Mixologist brings sophistication to every glass. Each pour is calibrated for the rhythms of the evening – from brighter pre-supper signatures to contemplative nightcaps.
House infusions, clarified classics, and low-intervention pairings are all developed in close dialogue with the kitchen.
Card Salon Curator
Championing a distinctive offline gaming culture, our Salon Host welcomes guests into the back-room card lounge. They curate the flow of games, introduce house rules, and ensure a respectful, face-to-face environment where conversation and strategy sit side by side.
From friendly tournament evenings to relaxed table gatherings, the Salon Host orchestrates camaraderie, clarity, and comfort throughout the night.
The Salon Host works closely with the bar to time drinks service around key moments at the tables.
Supper Club Team in Action
Experience the dynamic synergy of our kitchen and floor staff as they collaborate in the vibrant supper club environment. Every dish, drink, and table-side interaction is the result of clear communication and rehearsed precision.
Hosts, servers, runners, bartenders, and chefs move as one team – focused on delivering a quietly luxurious experience for every guest.
Culture & Standards
Behind every calm, polished service is a team culture built on training, safety, and genuine Australian warmth.
Each team member is dedicated to providing guests with service that is discreet, refined, and consistently above expectations. Small, quiet gestures – a remembered drink order, a pre-warmed glass, a perfectly timed course – define our approach.
Continuous in-house programs ensure our staff embodies excellence, safety, and authentic Australian hospitality. New team members shadow senior staff before leading their own sections.
Our work environment values respect, skill, and the spirit of collective achievement. Success is measured in how smoothly the entire evening runs, not just a single section.
Plan Your Evening
Whether you are planning a late supper, a celebratory gathering, or an evening in the card salon, our leadership team will tailor the experience to your group.
