THE ROLE
The Banquet Manager reports directly to the Director of Food and Beverage. It is critical the person in this position is tactical and strategic; if you only prefer to "see the forest" and not "plant the trees," then this is not a role for you. All leaders of Aparium are required to get down and dirty to unearth existing needs and personally ensure what needs to be fixed is repaired. We are a young company that is in hyper-growth, so having the ability to be a soldier is as critical as being a general.
As the Banquet Manager, you will lead the Banquets Team to execute the group and social events hosted at our property. The Banquet Manager wears many different hats throughout the day - leading by example while spending the much of your day engaging with your associates and clients before, during, and after events. We encourage our leaders to inspire and challenge each other to be their best. A large degree of self-motivation is needed to drive your department, while collaborating with the Sales team to bring the clients' vision to fruition.
The Banquet Manager will maintain and execute the Standards of Service for Food and Beverage events, assuring success for the guest experience.
HOW YOU WILL LEAD
  • Offer direct support for your team through coaching, counseling, gentle correction, and constructive feedback
  • Collaborate effectively with all hotel departments including Sales, Culinary, Food & Beverage, and Hotel Operations to provide an exemplary guest experience
  • Be respectful in your daily interactions with your managers, direct reports, and peers, exemplifying the utmost level of professionalism and being a pillar within your community
  • Be a subject matter expert in Banquet and Events techniques, as well as understanding the history of the cuisine most closely related to the hotel food and beverage concept(s), effectively guiding others in their personal search with a gentle hand, never admonishing their lack of knowledge
  • Demonstrates business acumen by ensuring that initiatives align with operational goals and budgets; shows passion to further develop this skillset
