Job Description
Welcome to St. Pete Athletic.
We’re not just launching a club—we’re building a community, a standard, and a vibe. Think urban country club. St. Pete Athletic is where sport, hospitality, and social energy collide. With 14 pickleball courts, 2 padel courts, dedicated table tennis spaces, a full-service restaurant and bar, and amenities ranging from coworking to wellness to a garden oasis—it’s a place to play, connect, and belong.
But our real secret? Hospitality. The kind you feel, not just see. We believe in creating moments that surprise and delight. And we’re looking for an F&B Manager who lives and breathes that philosophy.
The Opportunity
As our Director of Food and Beverage, you’ll bring the culinary and beverage experience at St. Pete Athletic to life. You’ll lead our front-of-house, kitchen, bar, and coffee teams through daily operations—establishing systems, setting the tone for service, and creating the kind of high-energy, high-touch environment that people want to return to again and again.
You’ll help shape the club’s food and beverage identity—where courtside cocktails and garden brunches feel just as intentional and memorable as a chef-driven dinner or a quick morning espresso. You’ll be a cultural leader, an operational pro, and a trusted coach for your team.
What You’ll Do
Guide the F&B Program
Lead the coordination across BOH, FOH, and bar/coffee to ensure unified service and quality.
Build and Elevate a Hospitality Culture
Set and maintain a high standard of service, warmth, and professionalism across all F&B spaces.
Be present on the floor—visible, warm, and tuned into both team dynamics and guest experience.
Instill a culture of excellence and care among all service and support staff.
Develop & Lead High-Performing Teams
Oversee and mentor kitchen, bar/coffee, and FOH Managers.
Lead hiring, training, and ongoing development for all F&B team members.
Foster a positive, accountable, and growth-focused culture where people are proud to work.
Drive Operational Excellence
Oversee daily service across all F&B areas, ensuring consistency, quality, and flow.
Manage inventory, ordering, cost controls, and vendor relationships.
Support creative programming and events with intentional service and beverage execution.
Collaborate on menu ideation, presentation, and guest feedback loops with kitchen leadership and ownership.
Own the Details Without Losing the Vibe
Ensure health, safety, cleanliness, and compliance standards are met and exceeded.
Implement thoughtful, efficient systems without over-complicating the guest or staff experience.
Partner with GM and ownership on ongoing performance tracking and strategy of FOH managers, Executive Chef and entire F&B team.
Who You Are
You’ve led food & beverage operations in high-volume, hospitality-forward environments—think boutique hotels, lifestyle clubs, destination restaurants, or experiential hospitality brands.
You understand the power of thoughtful service and beautiful food to bring people together.
You’re organized and detail-oriented, but never rigid—always leading with calm, flexibility, and grace under pressure.
You’re a mentor, not a micromanager—able to coach, challenge, and support your team in meaningful ways.
You have strong operational chops and know how to balance guest experience, staff needs, and business performance.
You’re energized by people, problem-solving, and the chance to build something that sets a new standard.
Our Promise to You
We want this to be the best job you’ve ever had. That means:
A voice at the table as we shape this club together.
Opportunities to grow professionally and personally.
A culture where excellence, joy, and kindness coexist.
