Position Summary

The Beverage Manager owns every beverage program at Nude Miami — coffee, smoothies, matcha, froyo, and juicing — from sourcing and recipe standards through daily execution, equipment care, and team training. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has run high-volume, high-complexity, premium beverage operations and holds every cup, cone, and bottle to a consistent, elevated standard. The Beverage Manager reports to the Store Director and partners closely with the Culinary Director and Retail Director to keep the beverage bar fast, clean, on-spec, and profitable.
