Experienced Restaurant Bar Manager

Daiquiri Deck is a vibrant and energetic restaurant concept that has become a staple along Florida's Gulf Coast. Founded in the early 1990s by a local lifeguard from Siesta Key, Daiquiri Deck was born out of a desire to create the ultimate place for people to unwind after a beach day. The founders envisioned a welcoming oasis where friends and families could gather to enjoy ice-cold daiquiris, soak in the ocean breeze, and experience a laid-back island vibe. Over the years, this concept has blossomed into a beloved chain of five locations, each committed to delivering the freshest, creamiest frozen daiquiris using patented techniques perfected over three decades. These unique methods ensure every drink served is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly frozen, setting Daiquiri Deck apart from typical bar experiences.

Beyond just beverages, Daiquiri Deck offers a lively yet friendly atmosphere where good times and great vibes are a daily promise.
