Full Job Description

Event & Hospitality Manager

Verbena | Prairie Village, KS

At Verbena, hospitality is at the center of everything we do—from a table for two on a Tuesday evening to a private celebration for 100 guests.

We’re looking for an experienced restaurant hospitality leader who also loves events to join our management team and help lead the next stage of growth for Verbena’s private events program.

This is not a traditional Event Coordinator position.

Our Event & Hospitality Manager will certainly own the details that make great events possible—client communication, proposals, BEOs, menus, timelines and planning—but we’re looking for someone who also loves the energy of restaurant operations, enjoys leading a team, and wants to be present when hospitality comes to life.

The right person is equally comfortable planning an event at a desk, leading a private dinner, and stepping onto the restaurant floor to help lead a busy service.

If you’re passionate about both restaurants and events, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

Private Events

You’ll help own and grow the entire private-events experience from initial inquiry through final farewell.

Respond to inquiries and convert qualified leads into booked events
Conduct tours, tastings and client meetings
Develop genuine relationships with clients throughout the planning process
Prepare proposals, contracts and Banquet Event Orders (BEOs)
Coordinate menus, beverage selections, room layouts, timelines, décor and special requests
Partner closely with our culinary, beverage and hospitality teams
Ensure event details are communicated clearly and operationally executable
Serve as an onsite leader for private events
Follow up with clients and cultivate repeat and referral business
Help identify opportunities to grow private dining, corporate events, celebrations, large-format events and restaurant buyouts

Restaurant Leadership & Hospitality

This is an important part of the position.

You’ll also be a member of Verbena’s restaurant leadership team.

Depending on the needs of the restaurant and events calendar, you’ll:

Serve as a Manager on Duty for restaurant services
Lead and support front-of-house employees during service
Help conduct pre-shift meetings and communicate daily priorities
Maintain Verbena’s standards for hospitality, appearance and service
Coach employees in the moment and help develop a strong hospitality team
Assist with guest recovery and solve problems with warmth and good judgment
Work collaboratively with culinary and beverage leadership
Support opening, closing and other restaurant management responsibilities
Step into the operation wherever leadership is needed

We aren’t looking for someone who simply coordinates events and hands them off.

We want someone who takes ownership of the experience and knows how to lead hospitality when the doors open.

What We’re Looking For

Our ideal candidate:

Has meaningful restaurant, hotel, catering or hospitality management experience
Has experience planning and executing private events
Has previously led employees during active restaurant or event service
Is passionate about restaurants and genuinely enjoys being on the floor
Can move comfortably between detailed administrative work and fast-paced operations
Has excellent communication, organization and follow-through
Builds genuine relationships with guests, clients and teammates
Is calm under pressure and confident making decisions
Understands that great hospitality often requires flexibility and good judgment
Takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what needs to happen
Is excited about helping grow an events business, not simply administer one
Is available for a schedule that includes evenings and weekends based on restaurant and event needs

Experience with Tripleseat and Toast is a plus, but not required.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary
Paid vacation
Health benefits
Growth opportunities

Why Verbena?

We’re building a culture centered around genuine hospitality, teamwork, professionalism and continuous improvement.

We’re also entering an exciting period of growth for our private events program. We see significant opportunity in private dining, corporate events, celebrations, large-format events and restaurant buyouts, and we’re looking for someone who wants to help us build that business while remaining deeply connected to the restaurant itself.

If you’re a hospitality leader who loves both the details behind the scenes and the energy of a great service, we’d love to hear from you.

Pay: $50,000.00 - $65,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Flexible schedule
Health insurance

Work Location: In person
