This full-time management opportunity is a strong fit for an experienced Food & Beverage Supervisor, Food Service Manager, Dining Manager, Restaurant Manager, Cafeteria Manager, Hospitality Manager, or Assistant Food Service Manager who is ready to take on broader leadership responsibility in a high-volume operation.

The Assistant Food & Beverage Manager will help lead daily dining and food service operations, including front-of-house service, residential dining, meal periods, team supervision, food safety, customer service, labor, inventory, and overall operational execution. This is a hands-on leadership role that works closely with food and beverage leadership to make sure the operation runs safely, efficiently, and consistently.

The successful candidate will be comfortable leading hourly employees, coaching teams, solving operational issues, managing busy meal periods, and maintaining a strong service culture. Experience in restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, resorts, campus dining, healthcare food service, corporate dining, senior living, residential dining, or other high-volume hospitality environments can translate well to this opportunity.

We are looking for someone who understands hospitality, knows how to lead people, and can help create a consistent dining experience in a fast-moving environment.
