Does this sound like you?

As our Food & Beverage Manager, you will lead the development and execution of our service vision across the Boar’s Head Pub, Lobby Lounge, and Banquet Operations. You will guide the team in delivering warm, elevated, and consistent service - while driving strong operational performance across each outlet. You will collaborate closely with the Executive Chef and the hotel’s leadership team during pre-opening to prepare each space for launch, establish service standards, shape our dining identity, and ensure a seamless and successful opening.

In this role, you bring a confident and guest-focused leadership style to a fast-paced, boutique environment. You excel at mentoring teams, overseeing day-to-day operations, and upholding exceptional standards of service, cleanliness, and compliance. Flexibility across a variety of shifts - including evenings and weekends, fits well with your lifestyle, and you are confident participating in weekly Manager-on-Duty rotations to support the wider hotel operation.

Who we are looking for:

• At least 3 years of experience in a senior food & beverage leadership role.

• Strong command of FOH operations, including team scheduling, labour oversight, floor leadership, service execution, and cost awareness.

• Proven ability to uphold a safe, sanitary, and regulation-compliant environment, including Ontario health and alcohol service requirements.

• Experience coordinating multi-outlet service (restaurant / bar / events), with the ability to adapt staffing and service flow to business volumes.

• Clear and effective communication skills, with the ability to collaborate seamlessly with FOH and BOH teams.

• The ability to coach, inspire, and lead a service team with professionalism, warmth, and a positive approach.

• A hands-on, engaged leadership style and a desire to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of the property’s overall F&B experience.

• Experience in a hotel environment is considered an asset.

• Experience with Oracle PMS is preferred.
