Lounge and Restaurant Manager at Holiday Inn SF City Centre!

Holiday Inn Sioux Falls – City Centre | Sioux Falls, SD

Great hospitality doesn't just happen. It starts with great leadership.

Have you ever walked into a restaurant or lounge and immediately felt the difference? The atmosphere is inviting, the service feels genuine, the employees enjoy what they do, and guests leave already looking forward to coming back.

Or maybe you've walked into one and thought, "There is so much potential here."

That's the kind of leader we're looking for.

At the Holiday Inn Sioux Falls – City Centre, we're looking for an experienced Lounge & Restaurant Manager who has a passion for hospitality, a strong understanding of restaurant and bar operations, and the drive to help us grow.

We see tremendous opportunity within our restaurant and lounge, and we're looking for someone who sees it, too.

Someone who brings experience, creativity, and new ideas to the table. Someone who understands that great service and strong business results go hand in hand.

More than managing the day-to-day. An opportunity to make an impact.

We're not looking for someone to simply maintain operations. We want a leader who takes ownership, recognizes opportunities, and gets excited about making things better.

Whether it's creating a memorable dining experience, developing a promotion that brings people into the lounge, coaching employees on suggestive selling, or finding ways to increase restaurant and beverage sales, we want someone who takes pride in making things happen.

Our goal is to create a restaurant and lounge that people choose to visit, not simply because they're staying at our hotel, but because they genuinely enjoy the experience.

And we need the right leader to help us get there.

What you'll have the opportunity to do

Create experiences guests want to come back for.

Lead exceptional restaurant and lounge service, build relationships with guests, and help create an atmosphere that makes people feel welcomed and appreciated.

Bring fresh ideas and drive revenue growth.

Identify opportunities to increase restaurant and lounge traffic, grow food and beverage sales, develop promotions, and create events that attract both hotel guests and the local community.

Build a team people want to be part of.

Lead, coach, train, and develop restaurant servers, bartenders, and support staff. Create a culture of teamwork, accountability, and genuine hospitality.

Lead from the floor, not behind a desk.

Be present during service, support your employees, engage with guests, and set the example for what exceptional hospitality looks like.

Take ownership of the operation.

Oversee daily restaurant and lounge operations, including staffing, scheduling, inventory, labor management, cost control, service standards, and financial performance.

Turn opportunities into results.

Use your experience and business knowledge to identify areas for improvement, increase sales, strengthen guest satisfaction, and contribute to the overall success of both outlets.

What we're looking for

• Previous restaurant, lounge, or bar leadership experience required.

• Strong understanding of both restaurant service and beverage operations.

• Experience with revenue generation, suggestive selling, and cost control.

• A creative, motivated individual who enjoys bringing new ideas forward.

• A hands-on leader who knows how to coach, motivate, and hold employees accountable.

• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

• A genuine passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences.

• Someone who takes initiative, follows through, and takes pride in their results.

• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays based on business needs.

Why join our team?

Because we believe great leaders deserve the opportunity to make a difference and be recognized for their contributions.

We want someone who takes pride in the team they lead, gets excited about growing the business, and enjoys seeing their hard work turn into results.

You'll have the opportunity to bring new ideas forward, work alongside our Food & Beverage leadership team, and play an important role in the success of our restaurant and lounge.

We also offer a competitive salary with performance-based bonus potential, giving you the opportunity to earn additional compensation as you help drive business results.

Ready to bring your experience and ideas to the table?

Maybe you've been managing restaurants or bars for years and are ready for a new challenge.

Maybe you've had ideas you've always wanted the opportunity to put into action.

Or maybe you're looking for a place where your experience, leadership, and creativity can truly make an impact.

We're not just looking for someone to manage our restaurant and lounge. We're looking for someone who wants to help them thrive.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
