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.

- Demonstrated ability to manage restaurant P&L, control labor and food costs, and drive profitability in a high-volume upscale restaurant or hotel dining environment
- A genuine passion for hospitality and a positive, solutions-oriented attitude — you set the tone for your team and your guests every shift
- A commitment to developing future restaurant leaders — you invest in your team's growth as much as your own, with a track record of promoting from within
- Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills with the ability to perform under pressure in a fast-paced restaurant management role
