While delighting our guests with trendsetting and innovative products and outstanding service experiences, you will achieve operational profitability by driving sales targets and managing costs. Part of your role will be contributing to the planning of food and beverage menu offerings and promotions as well as setting and maintaining food and beverage service standards.

You will conduct regular guest service, menu, sales and standards training with staff and lead teams of people, encouraging teamwork and personal accountability and thereby promoting staff engagement and retention.

Your extensive knowledge of food and beverages, including cocktails, wines, and spirits, will enhance our guests' experience. With a strong awareness of the local hospitality landscape, you will lead and manage your team effectively while excelling in financial management and selling skills.
