The Food & Beverage Manager is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of Summer on Music Lane, a three‑meal restaurant, In‑Room Dining, Mini Bar and the seasonal Magdalena Pool Bar, ensuring exceptional guest experiences, operational excellence, and financial performance. This role leads and develops front‑of‑house teams through effective scheduling, training, coaching, and performance management while maintaining high service and quality standards.

The Food & Beverage Manager partners closely with culinary, event operations, and hotel leadership to execute seamless dining, event, and guest experiences.

Summer on Music Lane, the full‑service restaurant at Hotel Magdalena, is inspired by the casual sophistication that defines a lake house weekend. The menu features honest cooking, taking cues from old school hospitality but with a decidedly unpretentious, Austin sensibility.

Our seasonal Magdalena Pool Bar brings us visitors from all over and sets the pace for sunny, fun, yet relaxing summer days!
