Who We Are

We love what we do and what we do is important We believe that everyone should leave feeling better – this means not just our guests and owners, but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new, or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests. We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole organization. No-one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can't create that special experience for our guest.


Your Mission

Should you choose to accept it...


The food and beverage management team orchestrates the magic of the guest dining experience by leading a team of passionate individuals.


Our goal is to create an ambiance where locals and visitors feel at home and we always have something up our sleeve to impress. Managers of their area are committed to being present on the floor during service directly impacting the guest and staff experience.


At Virgin Hotels nothing is ever "usual" so not only do you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and get things done, but you have to be willing to have fun. We are looking for someone who is full of creative ideas and most of all, we are looking for someone who shares our quirky sense of humor, our entrepreneurial approach and is always ready to join in the fun


The Nitty Gritty

What exactly you will be doing...


In helping you understand your role in working for a progressive, environment conscious, world class organization, the following is a list of your essential job responsibilities. Please keep in mind that this list is not all inclusive and that you may be asked to perform other job tasks by your supervisors/managers not listed below in the constant quest to provide "out of this world" customer service experience for our guests:

  • Communication. Monitor and track the flow of information coming to you from your superiors, hotel side, and culinary side and distribute consistently to your hourly teammates. Be involved in decisions and communication on the floor and share results with fellow teammates and superiors. Manage the communication relationship between guest and all areas involved: special requests from guests, needs of guests to the kitchen, service issues and guest recovery opportunities. You must communicate your expectations for your team mates clearly each shift and remain consistent in your messaging.
  • Guest Interaction. This is not an office job How can you know what is happening on the floor or with a guest if you are not present? Information should flow through you to the staff, not the other way around. You are responsible for detailing and confirming guest profiles and communicating that to FOH and BOH. You handle guest issues directly, with confidence and achieve positive results. Although you lead your team through the process of troubleshooting and you empower them to resolve upset, you are still actively involved in the solution. Your presence to guests and team is actively seen on the floor.
  • Leadership. This position has an enormous responsibility of keeping everyone moving in the right direction each and every day. You have to keep your team on track, energized and focused. Your team will be impacting the guest experience every minute of the day. Achieving that will take a consistent attitude about standards and service. Many people will count on you for direction and your message will need to be clear and concise.
  • Communication to kitchen, other outlets and front desk about food issues, VIP's, reservations and changes in business levels
  • Communication to hourly colleagues: same as above, guest expectations, changes in food or drink menus, special events/programming. To be achieved by a per shift team meeting as well as a post-shift re-cap
  • Handling daily tasks of: scheduling, properly cutting staff or assigning additional staff, driving revenue through various competitions, checking opening/running/closing duties of staff, monitoring that uniform & grooming standards are met, ensuring Virgin standards and protocol are being practiced through departments
  • Training of Teammates: assist in the organization of onboarding, delivering consistent training, twice daily sit downs with new members (before and at end of shift), exams are conducted on time and according to flow of manual. Making sure the new members are correctly input into the system and have all the tools, uniform and supplies to have a positive training experience
