Director of Food & Beverage – Resort Portfolio

Location: Las Vegas, NV or Orlando, FL

Compensation: $150,00-$175,000 per year

Travel: Approximately 40% to start, 25–35% ongoing

Build Something Exceptional. Shape the Future of Resort Dining.

At Vacatia, we're redefining the vacation experience by creating memorable moments for our owners and guests. As we continue to grow our resort portfolio, we're making an exciting investment in expanding our food and beverage offerings—and we're looking for an entrepreneurial hospitality leader to help bring that vision to life.

We're seeking an experienced Director of Food & Beverage for an initial 90-day consulting engagement, with the potential to transition into a full-time leadership position.

This isn't a traditional F&B leadership role. It's an opportunity to build a multi-property food and beverage program from the ground up, transforming innovative concepts into profitable, scalable operations across our resort portfolio. You’ll thrive here if you like building from scratch, with no playbook, and moving fast with lean teams.

From guest lounges and breakfast programs to poolside bars, restaurants, and central kitchen operations, you'll help shape how food and beverage enhances the Vacatia vacation experience.

We're looking for a hands-on builder and strategic operator who knows how to launch successful concepts, maximize profitability, and create exceptional guest experiences without unnecessary operational complexity.

What You'll Accomplish

Build & Launch Innovative F&B Concepts

  • Lead the development and implementation of food and beverage operations across multiple resort properties.
  • Transform existing concepts and designs into successful, revenue-generating outlets, including lounges, restaurants, bars, breakfast programs, and central kitchens.
  • Establish scalable operating models, service standards, menus, staffing plans, and launch procedures.
  • Oversee new outlet openings, from operational planning and equipment readiness through hiring, training, and successful launch.

Drive Financial Performance & Operational Efficiency

  • Develop budgets, financial projections, and business cases to evaluate new F&B opportunities.
  • Establish and monitor outlet-level P&Ls, labor costs, food and beverage costs, pricing, inventory, and profitability.
  • Design efficient, lean staffing models that balance operational costs with exceptional guest service.
  • Identify opportunities to increase revenue, improve margins, and streamline operations.

Create Consistent Standards Across the Portfolio

  • Develop standardized menus, beverage programs, operating procedures, and service expectations.
  • Establish equipment, kitchen layout, procurement, and vendor standards that can be replicated across properties.
  • Implement inventory controls, food safety practices, and alcohol service compliance.
  • Partner with resort leadership, Asset Management, and operational teams to ensure successful execution.

Lead Strategic Projects & Openings

  • Support key F&B initiatives in Las Vegas, Orlando, South Florida, and Virginia Beach.
  • Lead operational planning for upcoming restaurant and resort dining concepts.
  • Develop project timelines, milestones, and performance dashboards to track progress and results.
  • Leverage technology, AI-enabled tools, and reporting systems to improve operational efficiency and accountability.

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of progressive food and beverage leadership experience within hotels, resorts, or hospitality operations.
  • At least 3 years overseeing multiple F&B outlets or properties.
  • Proven success opening restaurants, lounges, bars, or other hospitality dining concepts.
  • Strong financial acumen, including P&L management, budgeting, cost controls, and labor optimization.
  • Experience developing scalable, cost-effective F&B operating models.
  • Hands-on knowledge of kitchen operations, equipment planning, service design, and vendor management.
  • Familiarity with food safety and multi-state alcohol service regulations.
  • Strong project management skills and comfort using technology, dashboards, and AI-enabled tools.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to move seamlessly between strategy and hands-on execution.

Even Better If You Bring:

  • Experience in vacation ownership, timeshare, or condo-hotel environments.
  • Familiarity with HOA operating structures.
  • Experience with innovative beverage systems, ghost kitchens, or unattended retail concepts.
  • Catering, events, or seasonal resort operations experience.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Build, Don't Just Manage. You'll have the opportunity to establish an F&B program and operating standards that will influence an entire resort portfolio.

Make a Measurable Impact. Your work will directly shape guest experiences, operational efficiency, and financial performance.

Partner with Executive Leadership. Work closely with senior resort operations and asset management leaders to turn strategic initiatives into successful operations.

Potential for Long-Term Growth. This initial consulting engagement offers the opportunity to transition into a permanent Director-level position as the F&B program expands.

Ready to Build What's Next?

If you're a hospitality leader who thrives on creating something from the ground up, understands the business behind exceptional food and beverage experiences, and knows how to turn ambitious ideas into profitable operations, we'd love to connect.
