The Food and Beverage Manager oversees the hotel’s restaurants, bars, banquet services and related operations. Requirements typically include several years of hospitality or food and beverage management experience, strong knowledge of service standards, budgeting, stock control, food safety and staff supervision. A hospitality qualification is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to lead by example, deliver excellent guest experiences, manage rosters and labour costs, maintain quality and compliance standards, and build a motivated, service-focused team. Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, together with flexibility to work weekends, evenings and public holidays. Experience in a resort or international hotel environment would be valuable.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Only Core Skills list jobs (chef, cook, hotel manager) can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423 a year or more; waiters and room attendants are not on the list.
