About The Position

Acqua Bistecca is a restaurant where wood-fired steaks and pristine local seafood take center stage, all through the lens of refined Italian influence. The menu reflects a balance of land and sea—’ACQUA’ and ‘BISTECCA’—celebrating the bounty of the mid-Atlantic and the warmth of the grill. From simply grilled local Chesapeake tile Fish to delicately charred steak brushed in red Lambrusco butter, each dish is rooted in tradition yet reimagined with elevated, modern touches.
About the Role:
The Restaurant Revenue & Events Manager is responsible for maximizing the restaurant’s topline revenue by curating, cultivating, and converting high-value guest opportunities — from private dining and group sales to on-site activations, brand partnerships, and maximizing reservations. Reporting to the General Manager and serving as a dotted-line partner to the Revenue & Relevance team, this role is focused on who is in the room, how the room performs, and how the brand shows up in market. The Restaurant Revenue & Events Manager is accountable for optimizing reservation flow, forecasting and tracking group sales performance, and driving initiatives that elevate both visibility and profitability. This highly cross-functional role operates at the intersection of sales, guest experience, marketing, and operations — requiring both strategic foresight and a strong floor-level presence to ensure every seat, space, and opportunity is maximized.
This is a dynamic, cross-functional role that requires equal parts strategy, stamina, and floor presence. You’ll own the large-party and private dining pipeline, lead marketing activations, and elevate every guest interaction with creativity, confidence, and poise.
