    Description
    Director of Food & Beverage Operations

    West Michigan | Full-Time | Salaried Leadership Role

    We operate a high-volume, multi-venue seasonal hospitality business with nine food venues and a rapidly growing guest base. As we enter our next phase of scale, we are seeking a Director of Food & Beverage Operations to build infrastructure, drive financial discipline, and elevate execution across all venues.This is not a shift management role.

    This is a leadership position responsible for financial performance, operational systems, and peak-season execution.

    Key Responsibilities
    • Own labor, cost of goods, and overall departmental profitability
    • Develop scalable SOPs across multiple venues
    • Build and manage a structured staffing model tied to demand
    • Optimize menu engineering and throughput during high-volume periods
    • Lead assistant managers and seasonal leadership teams
    • Ensure operational stability during peak weekends
    • Prepare and execute full pre-season launch plan
    Seasonal Expectations

    Summer Season (May–Sept): Open 7 days/week

    Fall Season (Sept–Oct): Open Wed–Sun

    Peak season requires strong weekend presence and averages 50–60 hours per week during high-volume periods. The off-season allows for strategic planning and schedule flexibility.

    This is a year-round salaried leadership role.

    Ideal Candidate
    • Multi-unit hospitality or restaurant leadership experience
    • P&L ownership responsibility
    • Strong labor and food cost control background
    • Experience in high-volume or event-driven environments
    • Systems-oriented leader who builds structure, not just manages shifts

    If you are energized by building infrastructure inside a growing multi-venue hospitality operation and want meaningful ownership in scaling a complex department, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
