ABOUT US

Founded in 2007 by childhood friends Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros, and Romée De Goriainoff, and joined by Xavier Padovani in 2010, Experimental has redefined the codes of hospitality by offering a unique experience of contemporary elegance and warmth to a discerning international clientele. Renowned for bringing the cocktail bar culture to Paris, the group now operates cocktail bars, wine bars, restaurants and, since 2015, hotels. Over the years, its destinations have expanded from major European capitals such as Paris, London, and Rome to more seasonal locations like Ibiza and Menorca in the summer, or Verbier and Val d’Isère in the winter. The group also has properties in Venice, New York, Biarritz, and the Cotswolds. Experimental service philosophy is built around three core principles: the quality of the products, the precision of the service, and the genuine warmth of our welcome.

ABOUT THE POSITION

As Food & Beverage Manager, you are responsible for the coordination and operational excellence of all F&B outlets (restaurant, cocktail bar, wine bar, pool bar etc.), including supervising and assisting the Restaurant Supervisor, Head Sommelier and Bar Manager on daily basis. The F&B Manager reports to the hotel General Manager and works in close collaboration with Experimental F&B Director. Your role is both strategic and hands-on, at the very heart of the guest experience. In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Team Management & Operations Lead, manage, and support all F&B teams within the hotel. Oversee staff scheduling, attendance, and absences. Train, motivate, and guide teams daily, fostering engagement and excellence. Ensure smooth communication between all departments (F&B, Front Office, Housekeeping, etc.).
• Guest Experience & Service Quality Guarantee a warm welcome and impeccable service across all outlets. Ensure full compliance with brand standards and monitor guest satisfaction indicators. Handle guest feedback with tact and efficiency, implementing corrective actions when needed. Drive sales performance through upselling and proactive recommendations. Bring creative ideas to enhance menus, service flow, and key F&B moments. Be present on the floor during peak service periods to support your teams. Anticipate operational needs, ensure fluid service, and resolve any issues.
• Cost Control & Sales Strategy Manage stock levels and product needs in coordination with department heads. Conduct and submit monthly inventories by the 1st of each month. Handle supplier administration: place orders, verify deliveries, and maintain positive supplier relationships. Monitor operating results in collaboration with the Hotel General Manager. Develop and manage budgets alongside the General Manager, ensuring profitability and efficiency.
• Communication & Events Represent the Experimental brand and embody its values across all internal and external interactions. Propose creative initiatives to energize the property — partnerships, collaborations, and special events.
• Food safety & compliance Ensure compliance with all food safety, hygiene, health and safety and legal requirements. Ensure that all F&B outlets comply with internal procedures and brand standards. Monitor cleanliness, maintenance and operational condition of F&B areas and equipment.
