Job Description

Aramark Destinations Pikes Peak is seeking a Food and Beverage Operations Manager who is not only an experienced leader but also a skilled chef with strong culinary expertise. This individual must have a passion for creating exceptional dining experiences and an entrepreneurial mindset to grow the business. This role will oversee food and beverage operations at three distinct locations: The Summit Visitor Center, Glen Cove Inn, and the newly created Food Trailer at Crystal Reservoir Gift Shop (operating Memorial Day through Labor Day). Additionally, this role will spearhead the launch and management of Blacksmith Catering, operating under Aramark Destinations.

COMPENSATION: The salary range for this position is $75,000 to $80,000. If both numbers are the same, that is the amount that Aramark expects to offer. This is Aramark’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the compensation for this position as of the time of posting.

Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with applicable law, including, but not limited to, the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, the California Fair Chance Act, and the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance to the extent that those laws apply to the opportunity.
