Food and beverage jobs in large hotels and resorts, casinos and cruise ships may include food and beverage director positions. Typically, a food and beverage director manages the all food and beverage related operations of an establishment. Daily responsibilities often include overseeing employees, inventory management and managing budgets. Responsibilities may also include coordinating food and beverage and associated staff for banquets, weddings, conferences and other special events. Food and beverage director positions typically require a culinary degree or graduation from a hospitality management program along with several years of experience within the industry.
Restaurants, bars, nightclubs and retirement communities also hire directors, though smaller establishments may rely on food and beverage managers and supervisors to oversee this aspect of their business. Professionals in these food service jobs have similar responsibilities and educational requirements as those listed for the director, though they may also work their way up from other restaurant management positions. Assistant food and beverage managers do just that, they assist. They start with less experience, but may eventually work their way up into a higher-level management role. Food and beverage managers and assistant managers may receive salary or hourly wages.
Food and beverage sales positions are found within establishments such as hotels, casinos, country clubs and other businesses that host conferences, weddings, banquets and events. Professionals in these food service jobs sell the establishment's food and beverage services to clients. For example, if a bride-to-be is holding her wedding reception at the country club, someone in food and beverage sales will work with her in regards to the menu, drinks and refreshments and associated costs. Compensation for this type of food and beverage position may be based on salary plus commission.
