Major Lodging And Resort Positions

One of the major positions of a hotel that I chose is the Food and Beverage Director because of the experiences that I have had working in the food service. I have seen and experienced many challenges of being a food service worker. So this position would definitely challenge and teach me more about the food services. Some of the responsibilities of a Food and Beverage Director are hotel food service operations, restaurants, lounges, and banquets. This person would also be responsible for scheduling and supervising the food and beverage preparations. They will be in charge of service workers as well as planning the menu’s, they also manage the cost control and deal with suppliers. One of the many challenges of being a Food and Beverage Director is cost control in which most all hospitality services deal with on a day to day basis. Some more challenges that are experienced are making sure all shifts are covered, when deliveries are showing up on time and that everything is accounted for, making sure that all events are going accordingly, plan menus for events. Types of interactions that a Food and Beverage Director would have with other managers and employees in the hotel and or resort are the planning of events like weddings, conventions, conferences, proms and any other events that incorporates members in the hotel and or resort. Even though there are different positions of all hotels and or resorts they all in some ways help each other at all times in order to keep it running. Dopson L, Hayes D, Miller J.
