Job Overview

We're looking for a Food & Beverage Lead who thrives in both guest-facing and leadership roles. In this hybrid position, you'll sometimes serve as a restaurant server, delivering warm, memorable service; and at other times step into a lead/supervisory role with a higher base wage to support operations—handling opening/closing, MOD coverage, and ensuring service standards are met across the restaurant, bar, and room service.

You'll be an essential part of what makes The Source Hotel a standout destination—elevating guest experiences, supporting a world-class culinary and hospitality team, and keeping daily operations running smoothly.

What You'll Do
  • Guest-Facing (Server) Responsibilities
  • Take and serve guest orders promptly and according to service standards/SOPs.
  • Engage guests with genuine hospitality; answer menu and beverage questions confidently.
  • Operate the POS accurately for orders, payments, and check management.
  • Ensure food and drink quality before serving—verifying appearance, temperature, and portion.
  • Complete opening/closing sidework and maintain clean, well-stocked stations.
  • Collaborate with the team; assist teammates as needed to deliver seamless service.
  • Lead/Supervisory Responsibilities (When Assigned)
  • Shift Leadership: Supervise restaurant, bar, and room service/in-room dining during your shift; maintain standards, pacing, and cleanliness across FOH areas.
  • Service Standards & Guest Recovery: Monitor service cues; jump in to resolve issues, comp/void with authorization, and turn challenges into positive outcomes.
  • Opening/Closing: Execute checklists, secure cash banks, reconcile end-of-day paperwork, submit shift notes/logs, and ensure areas are set for success.
  • MOD Coverage: Serve as Manager-on-Duty as scheduled—coordinate with Front Office, Culinary, Engineering, and Housekeeping; respond to safety incidents and guest escalations; document and communicate via the logbook.
  • Team Support & Training: Lead pre-shift huddles, coach in the moment, onboard new team members, and reinforce SOPs, menu knowledge, and responsible alcohol service.
  • Compliance & Safety: Uphold health, sanitation, and safety standards; conduct temperature logs and opening/closing compliance checks.
  • Inventory & Purchasing Support: Assist with counts, par levels, receiving, and organization of supplies and product.
  • Administrative Support: Assist with scheduling inputs, labor awareness, and workload balancing as directed by the Restaurant Manager.
  • Always-On Operational Responsibilities
  • Maintain a professional appearance and demeanor; model company values and service culture.
  • Communicate clearly with guests and teammates; anticipate needs and remove friction.
  • Help maintain an organized, clean environment—tables, floors, service stations, and back areas.
  • Other duties as assigned to support an exceptional guest and associate experience.
What We're Looking For

Qualifications & Experience
  • Prior restaurant serving experience required; previous lead/supervisory experience strongly preferred (hotel F&B experience a plus).
  • Strong knowledge of service standards, guest recovery best practices, and responsible alcohol service.
  • Comfortable operating POS systems and handling basic cash/close procedures.
  • Knowledgeable in basic health/safety and employment policy practices; ServSafe/Food Handler and responsible alcohol service certification (or ability to obtain).
  • Meets legal age requirements to serve alcohol in Colorado and complies with all state/local regulations.
Skills & Attributes

  • Physical & Schedule Requirements
  • Able to stand and/or walk for prolonged periods.
  • Lift, carry, push, or pull up to 30 lbs (occasionally more with assistance).
  • Flexible availability, including days, evenings, weekends, and holidays.
