Job Description

The Food Services Supervisor oversees daily food-and-beverage operations, supports service quality, coordinates team members, and helps ensure an excellent guest experience. Requirements typically include hospitality or restaurant experience, strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to lead staff during busy periods. Experience in an upscale hotel or restaurant is preferred. Candidates should be comfortable working shifts, weekends, and holidays, while maintaining Marriott service standards, food-safety practices, and professional grooming. Japanese-language ability is likely important for local operations, with English skills useful for serving international guests. The role also requires problem-solving, staff coaching, inventory awareness, and close cooperation with kitchen and front-of-house teams.

Destination Guide

Japan offers strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, technology, manufacturing, education, and healthcare, with Tokyo providing the widest range of international hospitality jobs. The culture values punctuality, courtesy, teamwork, cleanliness, and careful attention to detail. Life in Tokyo is safe, efficient, and convenient, though rent and commuting costs can be high. Japan has four distinct seasons, excellent public transport, and extensive food, cultural, and outdoor experiences. Foreign workers generally need an appropriate work visa before employment; the employer usually sponsors the Certificate of Eligibility, after which the applicant applies through a Japanese embassy or consulate. A passport, employment contract, qualifications, and sometimes proof of experience are required. Japanese ability can greatly improve workplace integration and daily life, even when English is used professionally. New arrivals should arrange housing, resident registration, health insurance, pension enrollment, and a bank account after arrival.
