Description

THE ROLE

La Cumbre is looking for a hands-on, hospitality-driven leader to run our front-of-house dining operation. You're the type who greets members by name, folds napkins when the room gets busy, and genuinely loves watching your team grow. This isn't a desk job - it's a floor-level leadership role with real room to grow in one of Santa Barbara's most storied private clubs.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Build and develop a service team that takes pride in craft - recruiting, training, and coaching every day.
  • Lead pre-shift meetings, manage daily front-of-house operations, and keep standards high.
  • Stay visible on the floor, building genuine relationships with members and guests.
  • Partner with the Executive Chef to ensure seamless, polished service.
  • Execute memorable events - wine dinners, golf tournaments, holiday celebrations, and more.
  • Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and responsible alcohol service standards.

WHAT YOU BRING
  • 3+ years of dining room or F&B leadership experience; private club background a plus.
  • A servant-leader mindset - no task beneath you, no team member left behind.
  • Wine knowledge and tableside service experience preferred.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to stay cool under pressure.
  • Availability for evenings, weekends, holidays, and special events.


WHAT WE OFFER
  • Competitive benefits package.
  • Meals provided during shifts.
  • Professional development and a genuine path to grow within the Club.
  • A collaborative team culture at one of Southern California's premier private clubs.
