Crowne Plaza Harrogate is looking for an Assistant Food and Beverage Manager to take day-to-day ownership of the hotel's F&B outlets — restaurant, bar and room service — with real accountability for cost control, forecasting and standards.

The Role

• Manage the daily running of the food and beverage outlets, ensuring service standards are consistently met across restaurant, bar and room service

• Plan, organise and direct the F&B operation, including administration, marketing and promotion of the outlets

• Take responsibility and accountability for outlet profitability and revenue generation

• Implement and maintain control measures so that F&B costs, labour costs, productivity and operating supply costs stay in line with budget

• Prepare weekly and monthly forecasts for restaurant, bar and room service

• Carry out Duty Management shifts according to business needs

• Participate in departmental meetings to review progress against business plan goals

• Maintain a strong working knowledge of food hygiene and health and safety procedures

• Keep clear, regular communication with the Food and Beverage Manager, Head Chef, Conference and Events Manager and Operations Manager

We're looking for a strong leader with good interpersonal and training skills, someone service-oriented with an eye for detail, and a motivator who gets the best out of a team.

Working Hours

We operate 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so this role involves a range of shifts and days, with more demand generally during evenings and weekends. Exact shift patterns and contracted hours can be discussed at interview.

Supporting Your Hospitality Career Growth

• Fully funded apprenticeship programmes, including nationally recognised courses alongside our detailed brand training

• Internal development programmes designed to support you as you grow within your role

• Monthly and annual team member service awards, recognising and celebrating your achievements
