Are you a hospitality leader who thrives on caring for customers and staff? Are you looking for more meaning in your work?

PARC Retirement Living is an award-winning developer and operator of independent senior-living communities. We’re seeking a Dining Room Manager to join our Cristalina PARC team in Kelowna.

Welcome to Cristalina PARC

PARC communities are inspiring spaces, where our residents come, not just to live – but to live comfortably, and engage with a vibrant community of like-minded people.

In the heart of the vibrant Pandosy Village, Cristalina – PARC’s newest community is in full bloom. Just one block from Lake Okanagan, the residence has 133 gorgeously appointed suites. This modern, sustainably designed nine-story building is purpose-made for independent living, with vitality and social connection built right in. Residents can enjoy fine dining, lounge area, fitness activities, arts, culture, and gardening – or just sit back and take in beautiful views of the lake with a glass of fine wine.

The PARC dining experience is as fast-paced and service-oriented as any high-end restaurant or café – and our cuisine rivals the best, too! But PARC is also the place our residents call home. As you become a member of our close-knit team, you’ll also forge close relationships with the seniors who live here.

As PARC Dining Room Manager, you’re a leader on our Food and Beverage team, responsible for:

• Creating an incredible dining experience for our residents and guests, under the direction of the Chef de Cuisine – everything from our atmosphere and service to meal plating, lighting, music, and sanitation.
• Cultivating a respectful, positive, warm, and professional work environment for staff.
• Greeting and seating residents, and reporting head counts as needed.
• Answering questions about our menus, managing reservations, and resolving any customer issues.
• Liaising between the dining room and kitchen teams, sharing resident feedback on meals with the Chef de Cuisine.
• Recruiting, training, assessing, scheduling, leading and inspiring our dedicated and enthusiastic serving team – while communicating and nurturing passion for food, wine, and gracious hospitality.
• Preparing reports and inventories as assigned by the General Manager, including liquor budgets.
• Working closely with the Chef de Cuisine and General Manager to create and execute special events and functions, including catering events, private dinners, and other themed dining events, while promoting and upselling customizable menus and unique guest experiences.
