POSITION INFO:

We’re looking for a sharp, hands-on Assistant Food & Beverage Manager who knows how to run a tight ship without losing the magic that keeps guests coming back.

You’ll work closely with the F&B Manager to drive the full food and beverage operation, including:

Strong background in high-volume hospitality environments
Proven ability to manage teams and drive performance
Solid understanding of budgets, cost control, and profitability
Confident in managing IR, recruitment, and staff development
Passion for food, wine, cocktails, and evolving trends

Bonus points if you’ve got WSET, Cape Wine Academy, or cocktail training—but real-world experience will always speak louder.
