What You’ll Be Doing
As F&B Operations Manager, you bring energy, adaptability, and a hands-on approach to each day, ensuring smooth operations across all Restaurant, Meetings & Events areas, Breakfast, and In-Room Dining. No two days are the same, and you will lead a dynamic team with creativity, focusing on excellent guest experiences and maintaining the high standards our guests expect. Your role is pivotal in fostering positive client relationships, promoting our M&E spaces, and driving future business through return guests in our outlets.
In this role, you will work closely with both the events, sales and front of house teams to ensure clear communication, exceptional service, above all, memorable dining experiences. Responsible for recruitment, training, and development, you will shape a collaborative, engaging, and inclusive team environment. You will manage department budgets, forecast sales and revenue, and keep an eye on trends to spot new opportunities, all while aligning with the F&B Director/Hotel Manager to create a workplace that values every team member’s contributions.
What You’ll Bring
We seek a bold, adaptable, and real leader who is passionate about delivering excellence and creating memorable guest experiences:
