Close Inclusive Collection Job Postings Notification

"Hyatt is a place of learning - similar to a university. The company offers so many ways for me to learn and grow, both professionally and personally."

This is not your typical career opportunity. Mission Pacific Beach Resort and The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, sister luxury resorts on the Oceanside beachfront and part of Hyatt, are hiring a Director of Restaurants to lead the restaurant portfolio across both properties:
Piper, The Café and In-Room Dining. We believe our team members can thrive in an empowered, supportive, creative and energetic environment.

We’re looking for an individual who embodies the Hyatt luxury lifestyle experience.

This is a restaurateur’s job with a director’s responsibilities. You will run each restaurant as its own business, own the P&L, develop the managers, run the systems and reporting a managed luxury hotel requires, and partner with a dedicated leadership team across Bars, Banquets and Culinary to build one of the strongest F&B divisions in Hyatt.

At Hyatt, we believe our guests select Hyatt because of our caring and attentive colleagues who are focused on providing efficient service and meaningful experiences. This is a highly visible role with exposure to Senior and Corporate leadership. This position reports to the Area Director of Food & Beverage.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the performance, guest experience and profitability of three restaurant operations across two luxury resorts.
• Own budgets, forecasts, labor productivity, food and beverage cost, average check, covers, beverage attachment and menu mix.
• Run the administrative side with the same discipline as the floor:
  Hyatt systems, monthly forecasts and month-end reporting, labor and purchasing controls, compliance and performance documentation.
• Present restaurant performance and plans to ownership and the executive committee with the Area Director of Food & Beverage, and act as a senior leader across both resorts, including Manager on Duty coverage.
• Set and uphold luxury service standards (Hyatt and Forbes-level) and be visible on the floor during key services.
• Develop restaurant managers and supervisors into confident business owners; build succession and address performance directly.
• Partner with the Executive Chef, Director of Bars and Director of Banquets & Events on menus, beverage, training and events.
• Execute approved marketing, promotions and programming flawlessly and bring commercial ideas forward.
• Build and execute recovery plans when results miss expectations.
• Direct and oversee development of employees.
• Hire, train, empower, coach and counsel, performance and salary reviews.
• Complete weekly payroll and wisely tip out program as needed, in absence of specific outlet manager.
• Perform daily walk-through to ensure full compliance with Department of Health regulations and Hyatt Corporate standards.

This list is not all-encompassing and that daily work tasks may and can be altered to meet business needs.

The salary range for this position is $74,400.00 - $96,600.00 This is the pay range for this position that The Seabird Resort reasonably expects to pay. Decisions regarding individual salaries will be based on a number of factors, such as experience and education.
