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

Self-starter with calm, even disposition in a fast-paced environment.

Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills.

Able to maintain order and control while supporting a warm, elevated hospitality experience.

Team-first mindset; willing to pitch in across roles to help the operation.

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.

Compensation Structure:

Server shifts: Base rate + tips

Lead/MOD shifts: Higher base rate + tips

Benefits: Eligibility for medical/dental/vision and 401(k) with match per company policy and classification.

Perks: Crescent-managed property discounts across North America for you and your family .
