The successful candidate will supervise colleagues, coordinate restaurant service, handle guest requests and complaints, maintain Four Seasons standards, assist with training, and support scheduling, stock control, and revenue performance.

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is a globally recognized luxury hospitality company operating hotels, resorts, residences, and private retreat properties across many countries. Founded in 1961, the company is known for personalized service, refined accommodations, and a strong focus on employee development and guest satisfaction. Four Seasons Hotel Osaka brings the brand to one of Japan’s most dynamic culinary and cultural cities, combining contemporary design with Japanese hospitality traditions. Its restaurants and bars are designed to offer high-quality dining experiences for hotel guests, local residents, and international visitors. Employees are generally expected to demonstrate professionalism, cultural awareness, attention to detail, teamwork, and a genuine commitment to creating memorable experiences.
Japan offers strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, technology, education, and international business, especially in Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, and resort areas. The culture values punctuality, respect, cleanliness, teamwork, and careful attention to guests. Life in Osaka can be more affordable and relaxed than Tokyo, with excellent public transport, rich food culture, historic neighborhoods, and easy access to Kyoto and other destinations. Japanese ability is a major advantage in hospitality, although international luxury hotels may also require English. Eligible overseas hires generally need an employer-sponsored work visa, commonly the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services status for hospitality roles; requirements depend on qualifications and job duties. Relocating usually involves securing a Certificate of Eligibility, visa, residence registration, health insurance, and a bank account. Costs, housing, and procedures should be confirmed with the employer before moving.
