THE OPPORTUNITY Join voco Sarasota during an active food and beverage relaunch. This is a build-and-lead assignment for a visible operator who wants to shape the team, systems, guest experience and future growth of the restaurant and bar.
voco Sarasota is seeking a hands-on Food & Beverage Manager to lead the hotel's restaurant, bar, grab-and-go and catering execution. The manager is primarily assigned to the 3:00-11:00 p.m. shift, providing accountable leadership during dinner, bar service and closing operations. This is not a desk-only position: the successful candidate will lead from the floor, coach in real time and build reliable systems while operating the business.
What you will lead
- Own the readiness, execution and close of restaurant, bar, grab-and-go and catered-event operations.
- Lead pre-shifts, monitor guest flow and ticket times, resolve concerns and coordinate kitchen, bar and service teams.
- Recruit, schedule, onboard, train and coach cooks, bartenders, servers and F&B attendants.
- Protect food safety, sanitation, responsible alcohol service, cash control, security and required opening and closing standards.
- Manage inventory, ordering, pars, receiving, rotation, waste, labor productivity, comps, voids and food and beverage costs.
- Maintain recipe, portion, plating, beverage and service standards while supporting thoughtful menu refinement.
- Coordinate with hotel leadership, front desk, sales, maintenance and overnight teams; serve as evening Manager on Duty when assigned.
- Support catering, grab-and-go, promotions, public events and local partnerships as operational readiness permits.
What success looks like
- A safe, organized operation with visible evening leadership and reliable shift handoffs.
- A trained, accountable and increasingly stable team with schedules aligned to business demand.
- Consistent guest experience, improving public reviews and prompt recovery when standards are missed.
- Sales, beverage mix, labor, food cost, alcohol cost, waste and prime cost are measured and actively managed.
- SOPs, checklists, recipes, maps, pars and routines are used consistently without dependence on outside support.
What you bring
- At least three years of progressive food and beverage experience, including two years in a supervisory role; equivalent experience and education may be considered.
- Demonstrated ability to lead dinner and bar service, manage multiple operating areas and coach a team during live service.
- Working knowledge of scheduling, labor productivity, purchasing, inventory, menu costing, beverage controls and POS reporting.
- Ability to recruit, interview, onboard, train, document performance and hold associates accountable with professionalism.
- Clear communication, sound judgment, calm urgency, discretion and disciplined follow-through.
- Food-safety manager certification, or the ability to obtain it within the required period; responsible-alcohol-service certification as required.
- Hotel experience is preferred; candidates without hotel experience must be able to quickly learn MOD and cross-department responsibilities.
Schedule and physical requirements
- Primarily 3:00-11:00 p.m., five shifts per week. Evening, weekend and holiday availability is required; occasional other shifts may be needed for meetings, inventory, training, hiring, events or coverage.
- Ability to stand and walk for extended periods, work throughout kitchen, restaurant, bar and hotel areas, and frequently lift or move up to 50 pounds, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.
Why consider voco Sarasota
- The chance to help relaunch and shape a food and beverage program rather than simply inherit an established routine.
- Direct support from hotel leadership and experienced hospitality and culinary partners during stabilization and onboarding.
- An opportunity to build a restaurant and bar that serves hotel guests, the surrounding community, events and catering customers.
- Competitive compensation and benefits consistent with the approved InterMountain position package and the candidate's experience.
