Food and Beverage Manager

Be Yourself – Be an Inspiration to Your Team – Be Leonardo 

As a Food & Beverage Manager, you’ll keep your department running like clockwork and lead your team to ensure our guests have an incredible experience with us. Take a deep breath because you’ll be stepping into a busy role! You’ll think creatively to offer first-class customer service and go above and beyond to deliver the best possible experiences for our guests.  

If you’re our ideal Food & Beverage Manager, you will: 

• Be yourself! 
• Lead by example and let your personality shine through
• Be visible on the floor, so that the team knows you’ve got their backs
• Ensure KPIs are set and support the team in achieving these 
• Lead regular team meetings – not only will this help with building relationships but a coffee chat goes a long way!  
• Complete and issue rotas in advance – life/work balance is important, your team need to be able to make plans outside of work too 
• Identify any training opportunities – we want you and your team to build a future with Leonardo Hotels 

Why come join us? 

We look after our colleagues just as well as we look after our guests.
