As the Food & Beverage and Private Events Manager, you will be an essential leader within the club’s hospitality operations, responsible for overseeing daily food and beverage service across all dining outlets. In addition, you will manage and coordinate private events from initial inquiry to final execution. This role requires a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and who excels at balancing restaurant floor management with private event sales and operations. You will lead and develop front-of-house team members, assist with scheduling and staff accountability, and maintain high service standards in real time.
Your role will extend beyond operations management, as you will also be the primary point of contact for private event inquiries, responsible for conducting on-site consultations, creating proposals, managing bookings, and developing Banquet Event Orders (BEOs) in coordination with the Director of Food & Beverage and Executive Chef. You will serve as the day-of coordinator for private events, ensuring seamless setup, execution, and breakdown. The ability to build strong relationships with the membership base and local community to proactively cultivate event leads is highly valued.
This opportunity is perfect for a hospitality professional who enjoys both operational roles and event planning, with at least 2 years of supervisory or management experience in food and beverage, hospitality, or events.
