Manager F&B

Imagine this: a sun-drenched beach, a cool breeze, and a smile on every guest's face as they cross your path. That’s what we’re all about. We’re looking for a new colleague to fill the position of F&B Manager at our luxurious all-inclusive resort on Bonaire. Here, you’ll find the perfect blend of work and enjoyment, surrounded by diversity and driven by quality. Our 5-star status isn’t just a goal; it’s our reality. And you? You’re the conductor of this symphony of hospitality, innovation, and teamwork.

But enough about us, let’s talk about what we offer you: challenge, variety, and the chance to really make a difference. A salary between $3,500 and $4,500 gross per month, working close to your new home, flexible hours, and a work environment that speaks for itself. Plus, let’s not forget, the work atmosphere is as warm as the tropical climate here.

Are you already comfortable elsewhere? We understand, but think about this: where else can you find the perfect balance between hard work and contributing to the most luxurious resort on Bonaire? Here, you can grow, make an impact on the organization and the guest experience, and face new adventures every day.

WHAT WILL YOU DO AS OUR F&B MANAGER? 

As F&B Manager, you are responsible for developing, implementing, and managing an exceptional culinary experience for our guests. You’ll lead a talented team of chefs, waitstaff, and other F&B personnel to maintain the highest standards of service and quality.

AND:

• You motivate and inspire the F&B team to deliver excellent performance;

• You work alongside chefs to develop innovative menus that meet our guests' expectations;

• You oversee daily F&B operations and ensure consistent service quality;

• You ensure compliance with food safety standards and regulations;

• You handle complaints and feedback in a professional and constructive manner;

• You prepare F&B budgets and manage costs to ensure profitability;

• You coordinate and manage F&B services for events and special arrangements.

WHO ARE WE? 

Van der Valk Plaza Resort Bonaire is part of the largest hospitality family business in the Netherlands. This hotel, along with several others both nationally and internationally, falls under the Van der Valk International (VDVI) holding. Our all-inclusive resort is located in the most beautiful spot on Bonaire: right by the sea, where our guests can snorkel from the beach and admire the island’s most stunning reefs.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?

Leadership that commands respect. You'll spend about 90% of your time on the floor and 10% in the office. As a leader, you’ll hold staff accountable for their responsibilities and guide them to perform their jobs well, according to the F&B standards they’ve been trained in. You’re an excellent communicator with a sharp eye for food safety and cost control. Hospitality management, F&B know-how, a diploma that supports it all, and of course, the experience that fits a manager. A few years of experience in a luxury hotel or resort of comparable level and size is a must to start with us in this role and further develop the team.
