The Zanzibar Collection is an award-winning group of four boutique luxury hotels and resorts located along the pristine southeast coast of Zanzibar.

• We are seeking an accomplished and highly motivated Food & Beverage Manager to take responsibility for the overall F&B operation at one of our properties and help deliver exceptional, highly personalized dining experiences to our international clientele.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• • Oversee all F&B outlets and daily operations, ensuring consistently exceptional service standards
• • Lead, coach and develop a diverse team, creating a culture of professionalism, accountability and genuine hospitality
• • Maintain high standards across food, beverage, service, presentation and guest engagement
• • Drive F&B revenue, profitability and cost control through effective commercial management
• • Manage purchasing, stock control, wastage, labour costs and departmental budgets
• • Work closely with the Executive Chef to develop menus, concepts and dining experiences
• • Monitor guest feedback and proactively identify opportunities to enhance the overall F&B experience
• • Ensure compliance with food safety, hygiene, health and operational standards
