Rooted deeply in Austin's vibrant culture, this unique hospitality establishment offers an event-driven atmosphere combined with multiple innovative bar concepts. Inn Cahoots brilliantly merges the intimate comfort of a private stay with the invigorating energy of a live music venue, setting a new standard for boutique hotel experiences in the region.
Expanding its reach, Inn Cahoots is opening a new location in Nashville, situated strategically between 1st and 2nd on Church Street.

This expansion reflects the brand's dedication to creating vibrant, high-energy spaces that connect people through music, culture, and social experiences.
The Director of Food & Beverage role at Inn Cahoots is a pivotal leadership position responsible for overseeing and scaling all food and beverage operations across both the Austin and Nashville campuses. This multifaceted role manages a diverse portfolio of venues, including multiple bars, cocktail programs, event-driven food and beverage services, in-room offerings, and other high-volume service environments intricately integrated within a boutique hotel and live music venue setting. The role requires a hands-on approach, blending strategic leadership with deep operational involvement.
Ideal candidates will bring a wealth of experience in managing elevated, high-energy hospitality concepts with strong financial acumen. The Director of Food & Beverage will be instrumental in building and developing systems and teams that deliver exceptional food and beverage experiences consistent with the Inn Cahoots brand identity. This involves maintaining high standards for guest experience, ensuring compliance with all regulatory policies, and driving financial performance through effective budgeting, cost control, and revenue optimization.
Key responsibilities also include fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and performance excellence among bar managers, beverage directors, and all members of the food and beverage leadership teams across both cities. The Director will collaborate closely with marketing and events teams to launch promotional initiatives, seasonal menus, and high-profile live music events and activations. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the brand's growth, lead innovative beverage programming, and shape the guest experience within a hybrid hospitality and live entertainment atmosphere that celebrates nightlife and culture.
