Description
At Hyatt, we believe our guests select Hyatt because of our caring and attentive associates who are focused on providing efficient service and meaningful experiences.
The Assistant Food & Beverage Manager plays a key leadership role supporting both the restaurant and event services (banquet) operations within the hotel. This position is responsible for ensuring seamless execution of all food and beverage outlets, including banquet functions, while delivering exceptional service that exceeds guest expectations.
This individual will assist in overseeing daily restaurant operations, managing banquet events, and supporting all food and beverage service standards. Responsibilities include supervising team members, coordinating event setups and service, ensuring proper staffing levels, and maintaining compliance with Hyatt standards as well as federal, state, and local regulations.

Dual Exposure:
Lead both à la carte dining and high-volume banquet events
Career Track Role:
Clear path to F&B Manager or Director-level positions
High Visibility:
Direct impact on guest experience, group business, and hotel performance
Fast-Paced Environment:
Ideal for leaders who enjoy energy, variety, and ownership

Qualifications
Minimum 2+ years of leadership experience in food & beverage
Strong background in hotel, restaurant, or banquet/event operations (ideally both)
Proven ability to lead teams during high-volume service periods and events
Strong operational, organizational, and communication skills
Financial awareness (labor control, cost management, forecasting) preferred
Flexible schedule required (evenings, weekends, and holidays)
Physical requirements: ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs
Who Succeeds Here
Leaders who are hands-on, visible, and lead from the front
Professionals comfortable managing both restaurant service AND banquets/events
Individuals who thrive in busy, high-expectation environments
Those looking to grow into senior F&B leadership roles
