WANTED: A Rare Breed of Culinary Visionary
Must live in Chicago or Minneapolis/St Paul areas!
I’m on the hunt for a National Director of Food & Beverage — but not just any Director. I’m looking for a unicorn. A brilliant hybrid of strategist, operator, creative, and coach.
You don’t just run F&B departments — you own it!!
Budgeting? Cost control? Financial reporting? You speak fluent P&L and know how to drive profitability without sacrificing quality or guest experience.
You’ve not only crafted menus (both food and beverage), but you’ve sourced the goods, led procurement negotiations, defined specs, and audited facilities with an eye that catches what others miss.
You’ve built F&B strategies from the ground up — designed the vision, mapped the path, and brought the team along for the ride.
Multi-unit? Of course. You’ve overseen multiple restaurants across regions, tailoring offerings to local preferences while keeping cost and profit front and center.
And yes — you’re ready and willing to travel up to 50% to make magic happen in every location.
If this speaks to your soul, you just might be my unicorn. Let’s connect and create something legendary.
