Food & Beverage Manager — Premium Restaurant & Lounge, Split
Cosa comprende il lavoro
Casa Sol is a premium restaurant and lounge in Split, Croatia, on the Dalmatian coast. We opened in February 2026 with a Mediterranean-Asian fusion kitchen — dinner service with a serious kitchen, moving into a late-night lounge atmosphere for an international guest profile. The venue seats 260 in season and 80 indoors through the winter, so this is a year-round operation with a demanding summer peak.
Casa Sol is the third venue of a group that also operates Chops Grill Steak & Seafood, a steakhouse open since 2013, and Portofino, a Mediterranean-Italian restaurant open since 2017. Both are established names in the city.
THE ROLE
You will lead the entire food and beverage operation at Casa Sol: service standards, the beverage and cocktail programme, staffing and rosters, supplier relationships, cost control and P&L for the department. You will report directly to the owner and have real authority over how the room runs.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Minimum 10 years in hospitality, with at least 3 in a senior F&B or restaurant management role
Background in high-end restaurants, lounges or five-star properties in Europe or the Gulf
Strong beverage and lounge-service background — this is not a daytime restaurant
Fluent English; Croatian or another regional language is an advantage
Proven ability to build and hold a team through a demanding season
WHAT WE OFFER
Year-round contract, not seasonal
Base salary plus performance bonus tied to revenue and cost targets
Relocation support for the right candidate
Full ownership of the F&B operation in an established venue, with an owner who is present
A group of three venues in Split — Chops Grill, Portofino and Casa Sol — with room to grow beyond a single-property role

L'azienda
Casa Sol is part of a family-run group of three restaurants in Split, built over thirteen years: Chops Grill Steak & Seafood (2013), Portofino (2017) and Casa Sol (2026).
We run our venues the way we would want to work in them: clear standards, an owner who is present on the floor, and enough autonomy for department heads to actually run their department. We hire people who care about the detail and we keep them.
Casa Sol is our most ambitious project — a premium restaurant and lounge with a Mediterranean-Asian fusion kitchen, built for an international guest profile on one of the most competitive stretches of the Adriatic.
