F&B Manager
About The Position
Hotel Lucine is a thoughtfully restored mid-century motor lodge on Galveston's historic Seawall, reimagined as a vibrant coastal gathering place where design, music, food, and community intersect. Equal parts boutique hotel and social club, Lucine attracts travelers, locals, creatives, and weekend escape artists drawn to its relaxed Gulf Coast energy and unmistakable personality. Food and beverage are central to the Lucine experience.

Together, these outlets create an energetic hospitality ecosystem where food, beverage, music, and atmosphere work together to create something memorable. We're seeking an F&B Manager who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys being part of service, and understands that great hospitality starts with engaged teams and consistent execution.
