Dining Room Manager

Job Type


Full-time

Description

THE ROLE

La Cumbre is looking for a hands-on, hospitality-driven leader to run our front-of-house dining operation. You're the type who greets members by name, folds napkins when the room gets busy, and genuinely loves watching your team grow. This isn't a desk job - it's a floor-level leadership role with real room to grow in one of Santa Barbara's most storied private clubs.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and develop a service team that takes pride in craft - recruiting, training, and coaching every day.
• Lead pre-shift meetings, manage daily front-of-house operations, and keep standards high.
• Stay visible on the floor, building genuine relationships with members and guests.
• Partner with the Executive Chef to ensure seamless, polished service.
• Execute memorable events - wine dinners, golf tournaments, holiday celebrations, and more.
• Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and responsible alcohol service standards.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 3+ years of dining room or F&B leadership experience; private club background a plus.
• A servant-leader mindset - no task beneath you, no team member left behind.
• Wine knowledge and tableside service experience preferred.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to stay cool under pressure.
• Availability for evenings, weekends, holidays, and special events.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive benefits package.
• Meals provided during shifts.
• Professional development and a genuine path to grow within the Club.
• A collaborative team culture at one of Southern California's premier private clubs.
