Minneapolis, United States Aparium Hotel Group Full time
Position: Beverage Manager Location: Minneapolis, MN
Job Id: 652 # of Openings: 1 BEVERAGE MANAGER Reports to the Director of Food + Beverage: position is exempt WHO WE ARE Hotels done differently. It's not just a slogan or catchphrase, it is who we are in everything we do. We believe in the power of People, Place and Character; ensuring our properties are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated as a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities in which we operate; elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve. Hewing Hotel is in Minneapolis' vibrant North Loop neighborhood, more commonly known as the Warehouse District, joining cultural stalwarts Traffic Zone Center for Visual Arts and Target Field, home to baseball's Minnesota Twins. With easy access to all interstates as well as Minneapolis' Metro Transit Blue Line and Northstar Commuter Rail, The Hewing sits at the literal crossroads of the Twin Cities. While Minneapolis presents a plethora of hospitality options, none tap into the local culture to create importance and significance beyond the business traveler. The Hewing occupies the historic Jackson Building, originally built in 1897, at the gateway to the Warehouse District, immediately tying it to local culture like no other competitor. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets. WHO YOU ARE You are excited and passionate about being a leader in the three-ring circus that is a bar and lounge. You pride yourself in controlling chaos; and are adept at making each guest in your space feel like they are the only person in the room. While your mission is to provide an unmatched experience for your guests, you value the work and feedback of your associates as well. You enjoy and excel in the fast-paced and often high-pressure environment to execute what is needed in exceeding our guest's expectations and demonstrating the Aparium difference. You are attentive, courteous, efficient and motivate others by inspiring confidence, respect, enthusiasm, and collaboration. You are highly organized and can work in an often-unpredictable environment to meet deadlines, all while maintaining a positive and professional demeanor. THE ROLE The Beverage Manager reports directly to the Director of Food + 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 their hands dirty to unearth existing needs and personally ensure what needs to be fixed is taken care of. 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. The Beverage Manager will assist in leading the Bar team to execute the designated service periods in the Bar outlets. The Beverage Manager wears many different hats throughout the day -- leading by example while spending much of the day engaging with their associates and guests before, during, and after services. We encourage our leaders to inspire and challenge each other to be their best. A large degree of self-motivation is needed to drive the department, while collaborating with the Culinary team to execute the restaurant concept at a high level. As a leader within Aparium Hotel Group, the Beverage Supervisor will work with a phenomenal group of peers who will insist that they are collaborative, humble, experienced, and open-minded - no egos are allowed.
