Description

Glen Eagle Golf & Country Club | Naples, Florida

Love hospitality? Love leading people? Ready to make your mark?

At Glen Eagle Golf & Country Club, food and beverage is about more than what's on the plate. It's where our members gather with friends, celebrate, unwind, and enjoy being part of the Glen Eagle community.

We're looking for an experienced Food & Beverage Director who understands that great hospitality starts with great people.

Whether you're already leading an F&B department or you're an accomplished hospitality leader ready for your next step, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

You'll lead Glen Eagle's food and beverage operation, working closely with our Executive Chef, leadership team, and F&B employees to deliver an experience our members genuinely enjoy.

You'll:

• Lead, coach, and develop a strong F&B team
• Be a visible, approachable presence with employees and members
• Partner with the Executive Chef on menus, pricing, presentation, and new ideas
• Oversee dining operations, member events, banquets, and beverage service
• Manage budgets, labor, food costs, purchasing, inventory, and financial performance
• Maintain high standards for service, quality, cleanliness, and consistency
• Develop promotions and fresh ideas to keep our F&B offerings engaging
• Build strong relationships across the club and with our vendors
• Make sure we're operating safely, efficiently, and in compliance with applicable requirements

The position also oversees key operational areas including staffing, training, payroll approval, POS reconciliation, vendor relationships, and long-range planning.

Who We're Looking For

We're not looking for someone who simply maintains the operation. We want someone who wants to make it better.

You'll probably thrive here if you:

• Genuinely enjoy hospitality and taking care of people
• Know how to build, motivate, and hold a team accountable
• Understand the financial side of F&B without losing sight of the member experience
• Stay current on food, beverage, wine, spirits, and hospitality trends
• Are collaborative, organized, and comfortable juggling competing priorities
• Prefer being out in the operation rather than managing entirely from behind a desk
• Believe consistency matters - but there's always room for a fresh idea

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years of progressive food & beverage leadership experience
• Experience in a country club, resort, hotel, upscale restaurant, or other high-touch hospitality environment
• Strong knowledge of F&B operations, budgeting, labor management, cost controls, purchasing, and inventory
• A track record of developing successful teams
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A four-year degree in Hospitality Management, Culinary Arts, or a related field is preferred, but relevant hands-on industry experience matters to us, too
• ServSafe Manager and TIPS certifications

Country club experience is a plus, but it isn't the only path to being successful here.

Why Glen Eagle?

Because hospitality should still feel personal.

We want our members to feel at home and our employees to feel like they're part of something. We're looking for a leader who wants to build a great team, bring new ideas to the table, and make a real impact on the member experience.

This is a hands-on leadership position, so flexibility is important - including some Manager-on-Duty coverage.

If you love hospitality, enjoy developing people, and get a little satisfaction from watching a busy dining room run beautifully, we'd love to meet you.
