Description

Together, We’re More.

At Loraloma, we believe that true hospitality begins with connection—connection to nature, to each other, and to something greater than ourselves. Located just outside of Austin in the rolling Texas Hill Country, Loraloma is a private club and residential community where curated luxury blends seamlessly with natural beauty. Our club is a place for quiet moments and celebratory gatherings, where members come to recharge, reconnect, and feel completely at home.

We’re looking for a hands-on, service-driven Food & Beverage Manager to help lead daily operations across our culinary and beverage offerings. This role supports the execution of elevated, yet approachable hospitality- bringing warmth, precision, and genuine care to everything we do.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a front-of-house team with a focus on service excellence, professional growth, and operational consistency.
• Ensure every guest interaction feels personal and exceptional. Step in to resolve service concerns with grace and urgency.
• Work cross-functionally with the culinary team, events, and housekeeping to create seamless guest experiences for regular dining and special occasions.
• Help uphold service protocols, cleanliness, presentation standards, and compliance with food safety regulations.
• Assist with scheduling, inventory control, labor management, and budget adherence for the F&B department.
• Conduct regular performance evaluations, provide feedback, and implement development plans to enhance team performance.
• Develop and execute marketing initiatives to promote F&B offerings and increase revenue.
• Plan and coordinate special events, banquets, and private functions, ensuring exceptional service and guest satisfaction.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to create promotional materials and campaigns. 
• Maintain accurate records of inventory, ordering, and financial transactions.
• Ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations, including health codes and liquor laws.
• Prepare and submit reports on F&B performance, including sales, expenses, and guest feedback.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a front-of-house team with a focus on service excellence, professional growth, and operational consistency.
• Partner with the Executive Chef and Beverage Manager (if applicable) to design seasonal menus, signature beverage offerings, and wine programs reflective of the Hill Country terroir and Loraloma’s luxury ethos.
• Act as a visible, hands-on leader during peak service periods, high-profile events, and VIP guest visits, setting the standard for service and engagement.
