Job description

Job Title: Food & Beverage Manager

Salary: Competitive salary plus generous benefits

Contract: Permanent / 45 hours per week

We are looking for a leader in the making. Someone who will understand that running a successful business isn’t just about exceeding the brand standards or having a superb P&L. We want someone who will look after the team and, by developing them, will deliver the expectation of celebrity service.

In this Food & Beverage Manager hands-on role, your eye for detail will help you excel. You will love leading and motivating your team and driving the brand strategy in all elements of the business, with a focus on setting the F&B operation apart from the competition as a preferred employer and destination to stay, eat, and drink.

You will know the local market and have experience in running a busy Food and Beverage department at Head of Department level, ideally within a similarly sized property.

Managing the detail through your department managers, supervisors, and team will be second nature, and leading from the front to set an example is something you are no stranger to.

A sound understanding of Health and Safety will be beneficial, as will a working knowledge of Opera and Zonal.

In addition to competitive rates of pay, we offer:

• Heavily discounted Staff Room Rates at Malmaison, Hotel du Vin, and Frasers Hospitality, with rooms available from £65 per night.
• Discounted Friends and Family Room Rate with 50% off the best available rate.
• 35% off your bill when you dine in our Brasseries and Bistros.
• Fully funded Apprenticeship programmes supporting your career development.
• High Street Discounts on a range of shops, experiences, holidays, and more.
• Cycle to work scheme – save up to 40% on bikes.
• Healthcare Cash Plans - dental, optical, medical, and more from £5 per month.
• Referral schemes paying up to £1500 for recommending friends for jobs.
• A decent uniform that doesn’t make you look like an extra from a 70s TV sitcom.
• Wellness & National Campaign Days promoting activities like Pay Day Lunches, National Popcorn Day, Mental Health Awareness week, and more.
• Partnership with Wagestream, allowing instant access to earned wages, real-time wage tracking, and financial management tips.
• Complimentary stays on your 1st, 3rd, and 5th anniversaries, including Dinner, Bed & Breakfast.
• Support for The Brain Charity, aiding those with neurological conditions.
• Employee Assistance Programme offering free, confidential advice 24/7 for you and your family.

Post-probation benefits include:

• Private Medical Healthcare
• Bonus Plan based on KPIs
• Critical Illness cover
• Life Assurance

Our Sustainability Goals:

• 100% renewable electricity, mainly from UK Wind Farms
• Recycling at least 70% of hotel waste, championed by our Sustainability Council
• Transition to chemical-free cleaning systems and eco-friendly kitchen products
• Volunteering for sustainable charities two days per year, paid in full
