We're looking for a Lead Food & Beverage Attendant to help run a smooth, guest-focused operation by leading the shift, supporting the team, and keeping service moving at a high standard.

What You'll Do

  • Lead daily shift execution in food & beverage outlets (breakfast, restaurant, bar, banquets-based on property needs)

  • Set the pace: opening/closing duties, service setup, sidework, cleanliness, and restocking

  • Assist with training new hires and reinforcing consistency across the team

  • Handle guest concerns quickly and professionally; escalate when needed

  • Maintain food safety and sanitation standards (cleaning schedules, temp logs, safe food handling)

  • Ensure supplies are stocked and organized; communicate low inventory needs to leadership

  • Support upselling and promote specials to help drive revenue

  • Follow brand standards and hotel policies at all times

What We're Looking For

  • 1+ year(s) food & beverage experience (hotel experience a plus)

  • Prior lead, trainer, or shift-lead responsibilities preferred

  • Strong guest service mindset with calm problem-solving under pressure

  • Reliable attendance and punctuality-this role sets the tone for the team

  • Able to multitask in a fast-paced environment

  • Comfortable standing for long periods and lifting up to 40 lbs

Requirements

  • Flexible schedule: mornings/evenings, weekends, and holidays

  • Food safety knowledge (ServSafe preferred, not required)

  • Must be able to work on your feet for extended periods

Benefits (if applicable)

  • Health/Dental/Vision (for eligible employees)

  • Paid Time Off

  • Hotel travel discounts

  • Meal/shift perks (based on property policy)

  • Growth opportunities within the hotel
