Job description

WHO WE ARE:

Palisociety is a society of unique hotels and residences — Palihouse, Palihotel, Le Petit Pali, ARRIVE by Palisociety, and a growing collection of independently branded properties. Since our first hotel opened in Los Angeles in 2009, we've grown into a nationwide portfolio of neighborhood-centric hotels, restaurants, bars, and event spaces, earning recognition from Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, the New York Times, and more.

We consider our employees our greatest asset: structured training from day one, consistent feedback, and a clear path for growth. We develop our leaders from within, because the strongest hospitality companies are the ones that grow their own.

ABOUT ARRIVE AUSTIN:

Located in the heart of East Austin, ARRIVE Austin is the perfect neighborhood hotel for guests looking for a blend of modern luxury, local authenticity, and friendly hospitality. With meticulously designed rooms and three distinct dining outlets, ARRIVE Austin welcomes travelers and locals alike.

ABOUT KALIMOTXO:

Kalimotxo is a Spanish restaurant and cocktail bar from the Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group. Kalimotxo invites guests to a vibrant space where they can have a quick drink or hang all night with good friends. We celebrate the spirit of Basque social bar culture with a curated Spanish wine list, amazing craft cocktails, and flowing porrones. Our team's hospitality is a top priority, and we're looking for passionate, genuine people to take care of our guests.

POSITION PROFILE:

The Food & Beverage Manager leads all front-of-house and operational aspects of Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group's food and beverage program across both of ARRIVE Austin's venues — Lefty's Day & Night and Kalimotxo. As the senior on-property operations leader and GM-equivalent for F&B, you'll own the guest experience, service standards, staffing, scheduling, and financial performance across both outlets.

This is a hands-on, floor-leading role — daily service, weekly payroll, scheduling, and end-of-day reporting — while developing the Restaurant Manager and Bar Manager, who each lead their venue's hourly team.

THE TASK AT HAND:

• Set and uphold service and hospitality standards across both venues, reflecting ERHG's philosophy for a consistent guest experience.

• Lead daily floor shifts — setup, breakdown, side work, server sections — holding both spaces to standard on line-ups and service flow.

• Serve as the point of contact for hotel collaboration, integrating F&B into the broader guest experience, and meet with the Chef de Cuisine daily to align FOH and BOH on menus, service, and standards.

• Ensure OpenTable is maximized, cover counts are accurate, and tables turn on time for accurate reporting, driving sales through efficiencies, staff training, and community outreach.

• Be a leader in hospitality — build lasting guest relationships, tell the brand's story, and serve as an ambassador of the product and service.

• Manage F&B operational P&L — revenue, labor, beverage COGS, and controllable costs — and manage staffing, scheduling, and labor budgets across both venues.

• Run weekly payroll, review clock-ins, and manage the tip pool, supervising, coaching, and mentoring the Restaurant Manager and Bar Manager.

• Ensure execution of the wine and bar programs, and own maintenance for both spaces, reporting issues and facilitating timely repairs.

• Ensure a safe working and guest environment, participate in the hotel Safety Committee, and partner with Corporate HR on hiring, corrective action, and team relations.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

Required

• Minimum 3 years of senior F&B management experience; multi-outlet experience preferred.

• Proven ability to build, develop, and retain high-performing teams, with strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.

• Problem solver and multi-tasker able to manage the pressures of coordinating multi-venue restaurant operations.

• Working knowledge of TABC, health department, and food safety standards.

• ServSafe Manager and TABC certified, or able to obtain.

• Flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.

Physical

• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods and lift and carry up to 40 lbs when needed.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:

• Competitive compensation package with medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, plus 401(k).

• Paid time off, holiday pay, and sick pay.

• Career advancement and professional development as we open new hotels and restaurants nationwide.

• Employee discounts across our entire portfolio (25 hotels and more to come!).
