Summary:
Who We Are
White Lodging develops and operates a portfolio of award-winning premium hotels, rooftop bars, and restaurants in some of the country's most dynamic cities.

You'll help bring the virtue of hospitality to life while we create an environment that allows you to be your best self and grow.
We are hiring an experienced Restaurant Manager to lead daily food and beverage operations at one of our premium hotel restaurants. This is a full-time restaurant management job for a hospitality professional who leads from the front — someone who builds strong teams, drives guest satisfaction, and brings operational excellence to every shift. If you're a restaurant manager, hotel food and beverage manager, dining room manager, F&B supervisor, or assistant general manager ready to grow with one of the country's leading hotel management companies, we want to hear from you. With multiple hotel properties in each market, White Lodging offers more career mobility and upward opportunity than a single-property restaurant group ever could.
