Food and Beverage Manager

Welcome to St. Pete Athletic.

We’re not just operating a club—we’re building a community, a standard, and a vibe. Think urban country club. St. Pete Athletic is where sport, hospitality, and social energy collide. With 14 pickleball courts, 2 padel courts, dedicated table tennis spaces, a full-service restaurant and bar, and amenities ranging from coworking to wellness to a garden oasis—it’s a place to play, connect, and belong.

But our real secret? Hospitality. The kind you feel, not just see. We believe in creating moments that surprise and delight. And we’re looking for an F&B Manager who lives and breathes that philosophy.

The Opportunity

As our F&B Manager, you’ll bring the culinary and beverage experience at St. Pete Athletic to life. You’ll lead our front-of-house, bar, and coffee teams through launch and into daily operations—establishing systems, setting the tone for service, and creating the kind of high-energy, high-touch environment that people want to return to again and again.

You’ll help shape the club’s food and beverage identity—where courtside cocktails and garden brunches feel just as intentional and memorable as a chef-driven dinner or a quick morning espresso. You’ll be a cultural leader, an operational pro, and a trusted coach for your team.
