Director of Food And Beverage

About Us

BIBA has been thoughtfully reimagined from an 85-year legacy into a private members club and boutique hotel in West Palm Beach’s historic El Cid neighborhood. It brings together a community of tastemakers, innovators, and leaders in a setting designed for an elevated, creative, and social experience.

About BIBA Social

BIBA Social is the next chapter of that history: a private social club for modern cultural leaders and entrepreneurial minds. With a planned opening in late fall 2026, the organization is building a leadership team that will help define the club’s identity, establish its standards, and create the foundation for long-term excellence.

The position is focused on delivering an exceptional member experience through disciplined operations, consistent culinary execution, staff development, and inventive service programming.

This leader will also help grow and refine the F&B program, including operating supplies management, training systems, leadership development, and both on-site and off-site catering. The goal is to build a stable, scalable operation that is aligned with the brand and prepared for future succession.
