• Proactively identify and solve operational challenges in a fast-paced, high-volume hotel restaurant setting
• Collaborate closely with kitchen and front-of-house service teams to create seamless, memorable dining experiences that drive repeat visits and positive guest feedback scores

What You'll Bring

• Leadership or supervisory experience in food and beverage operations — required; prior restaurant manager, hotel food and beverage manager, dining room manager, F&B supervisor, or assistant general manager experience strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to manage restaurant P&L, control labor and food costs, and drive profitability in a high-volume upscale restaurant or hotel dining environment
• A genuine passion for hospitality and a positive, solutions-oriented attitude — you set the tone for your team and your guests every shift
• A commitment to developing future restaurant leaders — you invest in your team's growth as much as your own, with a track record of promoting from within
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills with the ability to perform under pressure in a fast-paced restaurant management role
• The ability to adapt quickly to dynamic situations and shifting priorities across a premium hotel's food and beverage operation
