Job Summary
The Food & Beverage Supervisor oversees the daily operation of Akron-Canton Jellystone Park’s on-site concessions stand. This role is responsible for staff leadership, scheduling, inventory and supply management, food safety, cash handling, and operational efficiency. The position balances guest experience with cost control, labor efficiency, and waste reduction, while supporting overall food and beverage revenue growth.

This role requires hands-on leadership, strong organization, and the ability to adjust operations based on business demand, occupancy, and seasonal fluctuations.

Key Responsibilities
- Oversee the daily operations of the park’s concession stand.
- Train, schedule, and manage a seasonal team of approximately 10–15 part-time food and beverage staff members.
- Create and adjust staff schedules to align with business demand, weather, events, and peak periods.
- Ensure adequate staffing coverage while maintaining efficient labor usage.
- Track food, beverage, and supply inventory and place timely, cost-effective orders.

They are comfortable balancing service quality with efficiency and cost control, take pride in running smooth daily operations, and are proactive in identifying opportunities to improve performance.

This individual is capable of leading seasonal staff with clarity and professionalism, adjusting plans as needed, and taking ownership of food and beverage results throughout the season. While this position reports to the General Manager, it requires the ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and make operational decisions without constant oversight.
