The Food & Beverage Director oversees Banquet Operations, Banquet Kitchen, Pastry Kitchen, and Spark'd Coffee Shop. With your knowledge, expertise, and leadership skills you’ll maximize the quality of our food & beverage operations and enhance our guests stay and experience. You’ll also work with and coordinate with the various sub-department managers beneath you, helping them achieve their own goals and objectives.

Still your cup of tea? Here are just a few of the tasks you’ll be completing on a daily basis:

·         Interview, hire, train, and schedule F & B employees.

·         Collaborate with F & B managers in the creation of new menus.

·         Regularly review and evaluate the individual outlets and banquet service to recommend new operating and marketing policies.

·         Continuously evaluate the performance and encourage the improvement of the associates in the food and beverage department.

·         Clearly describe, assign and delegate for the operation of the various food & beverage sub-departments. 

You have a high school diploma at minimum, although an additional certificate in hospitality or a similar field is a plus. You have 3 years of previous supervisory experience in hospitality and an additional 2 years experience in the Food & Beverage industry. Most importantly, you’re someone who has excellent problem-solving skills, leadership skills and is able to perform under pressure.

Be prepared to accommodate varying schedules including nights, weekends and holidays. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility, we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, F&B discounts and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.
