You'll oversee shift operations, manage compliance with F&B policies and procedures, supervise staffing levels, and maintain the operating budget. The position requires balancing operational efficiency with the brand's commitment to exceptional guest experiences—handling everything from supply ordering and equipment maintenance to responding proactively to guest concerns and reviewing satisfaction feedback with your team.
The ideal candidate has either four years of hands-on F&B, culinary, or hospitality experience with a high school diploma, or a two-year degree in Food Service Management, Hotel and Restaurant Management, or related field paired with two years of relevant experience.
