CIARANS — BEACHFRONT ECO-LUXURY RESORT, PALOLEM BEACH, GOA
RESTAURANT MANAGER
Reports To: Operations Manager
Location: Ciarans, Palolem Beach, South Goa
Employment Type: On Roll, Full-Time
Role Summary
Ciarans is seeking a Restaurant Manager to lead food & beverage service across the resort as it opens in its repositioned form as a premium eco-luxury coastal retreat. This is a pre-opening leadership hire — the Restaurant Manager will define service standards, build and train the F&B team, and shape the guest dining experience around the property's signature nightly live music and fresh, locally sourced seafood.
Key Responsibilities
• Establish service standards, SOPs, and guest experience benchmarks for all F&B outlets ahead of the October opening
• Recruit, train, and lead the F&B service team — Hostess, F&B Captains, F&B Associates, Bartenders, and Bar Back Helper
• Partner closely with the Executive Chef on menu rollout, service flow, and kitchen-to-floor coordination
• Own the nightly live music dining experience — coordinating ambience, seating flow, and guest engagement
• Manage beverage programme, bar inventory, and supplier relationships alongside the Bartenders
• Handle guest feedback, complaints, and special requests with warmth and discretion
• Monitor F&B revenue, covers, average spend, and cost of goods against budget
• Ensure hygiene, safety, and licensing compliance across all service areas
• Coordinate with Front Office and Reservations on in-house guest dining, group bookings, and events
• Maintain consistent presentation, grooming, and service standards across the team
Qualifications & Experience
• 5–8 years of F&B service experience, with at least 2–3 years in a Restaurant Manager or Assistant F&B Manager role
• Degree or diploma in Hotel Management preferred
• Experience in a resort, boutique hotel, or premium standalone restaurant environment
• Working knowledge of POS systems, inventory control, and F&B cost management
• Experience building or training a service team from scratch is a strong advantage
• Familiarity with beverage and bar operations
Key Attributes
• Warm, guest-facing presence that reflects Ciarans' authentic, unpretentious hospitality
• Hands-on leader comfortable working the floor, not just managing from an office
• Calm and composed during high-volume service and the pre-opening ramp-up
• Strong eye for detail in ambience, table setting, and service consistency
