Job Description

San Manuel is one of the largest private employers in the Inland Empire, widely recognized for its commitment to employee growth, well-being, and community engagement. The establishment operates in the hospitality and gaming industry, providing a high-energy, dynamic casino and resort environment where exceptional service and guest satisfaction are paramount. Known for its vibrant and inclusive atmosphere, San Manuel specializes in creating memorable experiences through its diverse range of entertainment and hospitality services. The company prides itself on adhering to the highest standards of service, quality, and integrity, ensuring that every guest feels valued and welcome. With a strong emphasis on teamwork and leadership development, San Manuel continually invests in training and supporting its staff, fostering a positive workplace culture that supports personal and professional growth.

The role of Lead Food & Beverage Attendant at San Manuel is an essential leadership position within the Front of House (FOH) operations. Reporting directly to the Supervisor of Food & Beverage, this role encompasses a wide range of responsibilities aimed at ensuring seamless venue operations, exceptional guest experiences, and adherence to the Yaamava Brand Service Standards. The Lead Food & Beverage Attendant serves as an extension of the management team, providing direction, training, and support to a team of attendants while actively participating in daily operational tasks.

This position requires a hands-on approach to leadership, including assisting with host stand responsibilities, managing transactions through the Point of Sale (POS) system, and overseeing dining room activities to maintain cleanliness and organization. The Lead Attendant plays a critical role in guest interaction by promptly addressing inquiries, concerns, and complaints with professionalism and care, striving to resolve issues before escalating them to higher management.

Inventory management, including maintaining proper stock levels, auditing cash register transactions, and helping with supply orders, is another integral duty of the role. Additionally, the Lead Attendant supports training efforts by communicating new procedures and ensuring team members are equipped to deliver efficient, high-quality service. This leadership role also requires collaboration with both FOH and Culinary teams to synchronize efforts and deliver a best-in-class experience aligned with enterprise goals.

The ideal candidate must demonstrate strong communication skills, capability to work effectively under pressure, and a deep commitment to customer service excellence. Physical demands of the role include the ability to exert force for lifting up to 40 pounds occasionally and perform physical activities such as stooping, kneeling, and repetitive motions. Shifts may include evenings, weekends, and holidays, reflecting the fast-paced and high-demand hospitality environment.

San Manuel offers a stimulating work environment within a climate-controlled casino and resort setting. This position not only demands operational expertise but also a passion for hospitality and leadership development. Candidates must be prepared to fulfill certain licensing requirements, including obtaining and maintaining food handler and responsible beverage service certifications, further emphasizing San Manuel’s commitment to safety and compliance.

Joining the San Manuel team as a Lead Food & Beverage Attendant means becoming part of a thriving community dedicated to meaningful service, professional development, and a shared commitment to excellence that resonates throughout each guest’s experience. This role provides an excellent opportunity for those seeking to advance their career in the food and beverage industry while contributing to a reputable and supportive employer.
