Food & Beverage Director
The Westin Westminster - Westminster, CO
Lead Leaders. Drive Strategy. Build Your Legacy.
The Westin Westminster is seeking an accomplished, forward-thinking Director of Food & Beverage to lead our multi-million-dollar operation with vision, precision, and passion. This is a senior executive role overseeing the property’s Food & Beverage management team-not a restaurant management position.
We are not seeking a Restaurant Manager. We are seeking a strategic business leader-someone who will lead our Restaurant Manager, Banquet Manager, and Executive Chef, driving excellence across all outlets and functions. The ideal candidate will possess the leadership qualities and business acumen required to advance into a General Manager role in the future. This position includes a performance-based bonus plan tied to departmental and overall hotel results.
About The Role
With over $15 million in annual Food & Beverage revenue, The Westin Westminster operates one of the most dynamic banquet and catering programs in the region, alongside thriving restaurant, bar, and in-room dining outlets.
As the Food & Beverage Director, you will focus on strategy, leadership, and financial performance-guiding your managers to execute at the highest level while maintaining strong control of costs, labor, and profitability. This position demands not only operational expertise, but also executive-level financial insight and a commitment to developing the next generation of hospitality leaders.
