Overview Are you a bold, hands‑on leader with a passion for food, hospitality, and unforgettable guest experiences? The Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel, a modern boutique gem rooted in the heart of Omaha's vibrant Blackstone District, is on the hunt for an inspiring
Director of Food & Beverage
to lead our exceptional team. We're not just looking for someone to manage from the sidelines. We want a roll‑up‑your‑sleeves kind of leader, someone who thrives on collaboration, jumps behind the bar when needed, checks in on the kitchen during a dinner rush, and high‑fives the team after a successful service. This is your chance to make your mark on a historic, reimagined landmark where Midwestern charm meets fresh, modern hospitality. You'll oversee multiple dynamic outlets, design innovative menus that wow, and ensure every bite and sip reflect the quality and creativity we're known for. If you're ready to bring passion, vision, and a little bit of hustle to a place full of heart and heritage, we want to hear your story.
Qualifications
4+ years of progressive experience in food & beverage management, with hands‑on leadership in both culinary and front‑of‑house operations – hotel or boutique hospitality experience preferred.
A culinary background with a strong understanding of kitchen operations, menu development, and back‑of‑house dynamics.
Proven ability to lead by example – you're just as comfortable plating in the kitchen as you are coaching a server on the floor.
Bachelor's degree in hospitality, culinary arts, business, or equivalent real‑world experience.
A natural motivator with strong leadership skills – you inspire, coach, and grow high‑performing teams.
Confidence in reading and interpreting financial data and turning it into action – budgets, P&Ls, labor costs, you know the drill.
A flair for concept creation and guest experience – you think big, bold, and beyond the status quo.
Deep knowledge of industry trends, food and drink innovations, and what today's guests are craving.
Top‑natch communication and interpersonal skills – with the emotional intelligence to match.
A relentless drive to exceed guest expectations, foster team culture, and create standout experiences at every touchpoint.
