As the Food & Beverage Manager at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, you'll be the person who makes dining experiences memorable for guests who've traveled from around the world for their golf getaway. You'll lead front-of-house teams in one of our restaurants, managing everything from daily operations to staff development, while ensuring every meal contributes to creating trips of a lifetime. Your leadership directly impacts guest satisfaction and team success in one of the most beautiful settings on the Oregon Coast.
About Bandon Dunes Golf Resort:
Bandon Dunes is a world-class golf resort located on the Oregon Coast near the charming community of Bandon. Guests come to experience golf as it was meant to be at Bandon Dunes' seven distinct golf courses. That includes five 18-hole courses, which all rank among the top 16 public courses in the United States, according to Golf Digest. The resort is also home to an award-winning par-3 course, Bandon Preserve and the new Shorty's opened in 2024. The two short courses are 'Courses with a Mission,' with all net proceeds funding the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation. The Foundation supports communities along the South Coast of Oregon.
Beyond premier golf, guests delight in various dining options at Bandon Dunes’ collection of restaurants. Whether you're looking to enjoy locally sourced, Pacific-Northwest cuisine accompanied by an award-winning wine list or prefer kicking back in a Scottish-style setting with traditional pub fare and local microbrews, there is something for everyone.
Working at Bandon Dunes is a dream for golf fans, outdoor enthusiasts, and hospitality professionals alike. The Bandon Dunes team works together to create trips of a lifetime for our guests. We are passionate stewards of our resort, community, and environment. As an endlessly curious group, we ask questions, share ideas, and always look for a better way. With a hard-working attitude, we help guide our guests through their pure golf experience, immersed in Oregon’s natural beauty and away from the demands of daily life.
What You Will Do:
- Run restaurants that guests rave about. You'll oversee daily operations across our dining venues, from scheduling and cash handling to ensuring every guest interaction exceeds expectations. When problems arise, you're the one who fixes them and turns frustrated guests into loyal advocates.
- Build and develop teams that stick around. You'll hire, train, and coach front-of-house staff who are genuinely excited about hospitality. This means real one-on-one meetings, creating development plans, and helping people grow their careers - not just filling shifts.
- Manage budgets and drive real results. You'll implement budget plans, monitor financial performance, and develop programs that increase revenue per guest. You'll track what's working and adjust what isn't.
- Handle the complex stuff seamlessly. You'll ensure compliance with OLCC, TIPS, and all the regulatory requirements that keep us operating legally. You'll manage inventory, work with vendors, and maintain the high standards that make our restaurants special.
- Solve problems before they become guest complaints. You'll be the go-to person when things go wrong, working with other departments to resolve issues quickly and professionally. Your goal is turning every situation into a positive experience.
What Makes You a Great Fit:
- You have restaurant management experience that matters. We're looking for 5+ years of restaurant management with real supervisory responsibilities. Hospitality, travel, or golf industry experience is a plus, but we care more about your ability to lead teams and create great guest experiences.
- You know how to lead people, not just manage them. You've inspired teams, coached employees through challenges, and created positive work environments where people want to grow. You can have difficult conversations and help people succeed.
- You understand the business side. You've managed budgets, controlled costs, and driven revenue. You can analyze situations, solve problems under pressure, and handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- You communicate clearly with everyone. Whether you're training new staff, resolving guest issues, or presenting to leadership, you express yourself clearly and listen actively. You work well with other departments and build strong relationships.
