Assistant F&B Manager – Luxury Resort Operations
A privately managed luxury resort in Northern Italy is looking for an Assistant F&B Manager to join its operational management team.
This is not an administrative office role. The position is designed for a hands-on hospitality professional who enjoys being close to the operation, the guests and the team, and who is ready to grow into a broader F&B leadership role over time.
The resort operates several F&B outlets, including restaurants, bars and seasonal concepts, and offers a dynamic environment with high service standards, international guests and a strong focus on quality, organisation and guest satisfaction.
Main responsibilities
The Assistant F&B Manager will support the F&B Manager and the operational leadership team in the daily management of the F&B department.
Key responsibilities include:
* supporting the daily operation of restaurants, bars and events
* ensuring service standards are respected across the outlets
* coordinating with restaurant managers, supervisors, kitchen and stewarding
* being present on the floor during key service times
* supporting staff briefings, training and quality control
* helping to organise shifts, service flows and operational priorities
* monitoring guest feedback and reacting quickly to operational issues
* supporting cost awareness, stock discipline and internal procedures
* contributing to the development of a professional, motivated and structured F&B team
Profile
We are looking for a candidate who already has solid operational experience in hospitality and wants to take the next step.
The ideal profile has:
* experience in F&B operations in a hotel, resort or quality restaurant environment
* previous experience as F&B Supervisor, Restaurant Manager, Assistant Restaurant Manager, Maître or similar
* a strong presence on the floor and a genuine passion for service
* good organisational skills and attention to detail
* leadership potential and the ability to motivate a team
* a hands-on attitude and flexibility during busy operational periods
* good communication skills in English; German and/or Italian are a strong advantage
* a professional appearance and a guest-oriented mindset
What we offer
This position offers the opportunity to join a high-quality resort environment and to develop within a structured F&B operation.
For the right candidate, this role can become a concrete step toward a future F&B Manager position.
The role is particularly suitable for someone who has already gained solid operational experience and is now ready to take on more responsibility, broader coordination tasks and a more managerial perspective.
* Accommodation is available.
