For our refined and personalized F&B Operation, we are now welcoming applicants for the position of Restaurant & Banquet Manager for a small and elegant a la carte restaurant, a small bar lounge, a side walk cafe, pool side dining, room service and a small function room for 150 pax theatre style.

• Training up your staff to deliver a high standard of friendly and personalized service to guests
• Managing daily F&B operations of the restaurant, bar and banqueting
• Soliciting guest feedback
• Using that feedback to help us improve our F&B operation
• Improving the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for your areas of responsibility

We care:

...about what you've achieved. Where you want to go in your career. What you've learned from your mistakes. How well you intuitively understand our tone and mission at the Settha Palace Hotel. Your level of empathy, aptitude for leadership and ability to train your team, some of whom will know nothing about F&B service.

We care that you would genuinely care - about your team, our guests & corporate clients, and specifically, about giving all our guests at the Settha Palace a memorable experience.

We care that you have the ability to work without constant supervision, and cooperate and communicate very well with other departments - verbally, and in writing.

But the opportunity is NOT for you if:

• You have to bring your family with you.
• You can't adapt easily and build a routine, motivate yourself and work independently.

This role requires:

• A "make it happen" attitude: if you don't know it, learn it. If you don't understand, ask. If something is not working, find out why. Excuses or non-constructive complaints won't lead you or us to any kind of success.
• Previous experience as a Restaurant Manager, Maitre D or Assistant Restaurant Manager
• Banqueting experience is highly desirable
• Previous experience living/working outside your home country, preferably in Asia.

You'll get:

• A core role with a unique and leading boutique hotel in Laos.
• The opportunity to serve highly sophisticated and well travelled hotel guests from all over the world.
• To work with a wonderful multi-national management team, led by a very well rounded and dynamic General Manager.
• An environment where you're given opportunity to grow.
