Job description

Description

We're looking for a Food & Beverage Manager who lives and breathes hospitality - someone who appreciates the art of the pour, understands the nuance of a good pairing, and brings a sense of style and presence to every shift.

The Role

You'll take the lead in shaping and managing the bar and beverage program, curating selections that excite our guests and complement our elevated yet relaxed vibe. You'll guide a team of passionate bartenders and servers, ensuring every drink, dish, and detail reflects the sophistication of our brand.

This isn't a desk job - you'll be on the floor, guest-facing, and hands-on, setting the tone for exceptional service and a welcoming, polished atmosphere.

What You'll Do

• Curate and maintain an exceptional wine, whiskey, and cocktail program, highlighting both local and international selections.
• Partner with the culinary team to craft thoughtful pairings and seasonal menu updates.
• Train and inspire bar and service staff to deliver knowledgeable, engaging, and personalized experiences.
• Manage daily operations - ordering, inventory, cost control, and compliance.
• Design and host creative events, such as tastings, pairings, and cocktail classes.
• Ensure every guest encounter feels genuine, elevated, and effortless.
• Maintain top-tier cleanliness, organization, and presentation across all F&B areas.

Requirements

Who You Are

• A hospitality professional with 3-5+ years in upscale bar or restaurant management (hotel experience a plus).
• Deep knowledge of wine varietals and mixology trends - and the ability to share that passion with others.
• A confident leader with a strong eye for detail, style, and guest experience.
• Presentable, poised, and professional - someone who naturally embodies the tone of a boutique hotel brand.
• Creative, collaborative, and excited to build something special.
• Able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 40 pounds and work a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
