General Manager - Hotel Weyanoke

Job Description

Job Description

Lead a historic hotel with a lot of heart.

The Hotel Weyanoke is a beautifully renovated historic hotel in the heart of Farmville, right next to Longwood University's campus. We're looking for a General Manager to lead it.

This role is for someone who loves hospitality, knows how to grow a business, and gets excited about giving guests an experience they'll talk about long after checkout. It's a big job: you'll oversee rooms, dining at the Tap Root Tavern and the Catbird Rooftop Bar, catering, special events, and group stays. You'll also have a team that takes real pride in what they do behind you.

At Taylor Hospitality, we like to say we're an exceptional company built by exceptional team members. We'd love for you to be one of them.

What you'll be doing

• Running the whole show. You'll own the hotel's full P&L, including rooms, food and beverage, sales and marketing, maintenance, guest relations, and administration.
• Driving growth. You'll hit profitability and cash flow goals and keep revenue moving up.
• Building a great team. You'll lead your department heads, hold regular team meetings, and make sure everyone knows their role and feels supported. You'll also oversee hiring, reviews, training, and professional development.
• Planning ahead. You'll develop the hotel's annual and long-range business plans and put Taylor Hospitality's proven marketing and guest relations programs to work.
• Staying on top of the numbers. You'll work with the Controller on cash flow and accounting, review daily revenue reports, and handle month-end inventories, monthly statements, and payroll.
• Taking care of guests. You'll set the standard for warm, friendly service and step in on guest issues when needed.
• Keeping things safe and sound. You'll protect the safety of guests and property, care for the building and facilities, keep the hotel in line with local, state, and federal laws, and manage vendors and contractors.
• Being the face of the hotel. You'll represent us to community leaders, clients, vendors, and staff with professionalism and a friendly presence.
• Staying connected. You'll hold weekly, monthly, and yearly department meetings and communicate weekly with our corporate team.

What we're looking for

• Hands-on experience across all key areas of hotel operations: rooms, food and beverage, sales and marketing, cash flow, and full P&L responsibility
• A proven track record of building strong teams
• Comfort creating and carrying out business plans and reading income statements and balance sheets
• A self-starter who is highly organized and pays close attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Tech-savvy, with experience using Microsoft Word, Excel, Google apps, and POS/PMS systems
• A resourceful, take-initiative attitude (we call it R&I)
• A true team player who wants to grow with the Taylor Hospitality family

What's in it for you

Full-time team members receive:

• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
• 401(k)
• Short- and long-term disability
• Paid holidays, vacation, and personal and sick time
• A company-paid cell phone
• Lean management training
• Employee discounts through our HR provider, LL Roberts
