We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, job title: CHEF DE BAR (BEVERAGE MANAGER). Not to repeat as heading. We have sections: "Who You Are" (maybe about the role? Actually "Who You Are" describes candidate traits; could be part of "About the role"? But we have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. Let's extract: - About the role: maybe description of role: "The Chef de Bar reports directly to the Director of Restaurants and Bars... leads the team at Firn, overseeing Beverage Programs for Bar, Restaurant, Banquets..." etc. Also "THE ROLE" section. - Responsibilities: list of duties: "What You Will Do" bullet points. - Requirements: maybe "What You Will Need" bullet points (experience, knowledge, permits, etc.) - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can treat "What You Will Need" as Requirements/Qualifications. However we need to avoid duplication. Could have Requirements (experience, knowledge) and Qualifications (certifications, permits). But we can combine. - Skills: maybe "How You Will Lead" (leadership traits) or "Expert-level knowledge..." etc. But we have "How You Will Lead" describing leadership behaviors. - Benefits: "What's In It For You" bullet list: salary range, paid vacation, sick time, holidays, medical/dental/vision/pet insurance, employer paid basic life and AD&D, 401(k) with match, paid time off to volunteer, strong sense of belonging through DEI. - Pay: salary range $85,000 - $93,000 annual salary, based on experience. This is also in Benefits but we can separate Pay section if present. The instruction: only create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections if posting actually states them. It does state salary, so we can have Pay section. Benefits also present. Schedule: mention "Due to the cyclical nature... associates may be required to work varying schedules to reflect the business needs of the hotel, including nights, weekends, and holidays". That's schedule info. So we can have Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. At end there is EEO statement; we should drop that. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's gather content. First, "Who You Are" paragraph: describes candidate traits. Could be part of About the role? But we have separate sections; maybe we put that under About the role (description of role and ideal candidate). However we also have "THE ROLE" section describing role duties. Let's decide: - About the role: combine "Who You Are" and "THE ROLE" maybe? But we need to avoid filler. Let's think: The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. Thus: About the role: brief overview of the position, reporting line, purpose. Could be from "Who You Are" and "THE ROLE" first paragraph. Responsibilities: from "What You Will Do" bullet list. Requirements: maybe from "What You Will Need" (experience, knowledge, etc.) but also includes "Ability to obtain and maintain Alcohol Servers Permit..." etc. Could be Requirements. Qualifications: maybe from "How You Will Lead"? Actually that's leadership style. Could be Skills. Skills: maybe from "How You Will Lead" and also "Expert-level knowledge..." etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: - About the role: summary: "The Chef de Bar reports directly to the Director of Restaurants and Bars. Leads the team at Firn, oversees Beverage Programs for Bar, Restaurant, and Banquets. Acts as tactical and strategic leader, ensuring service standards, inventory control, training, etc." - Responsibilities: list from "What You Will Do". We'll convert each sentence to
  • . - Requirements: list of mandatory experience/knowledge: "Minimum of five (2) years’ experience in a leadership role in Food & Beverage (Restaurant and Banquets/Events); hotel or restaurant opening experience is plus", "Expert knowledge of wines, spirits, and craft cocktails, with ability to make pairing suggestions; Level 1 sommelier preferred; craft beer knowledge a plus", "Must be proficient in Word, Excel and other applicable computer systems", "Expert-level knowledge, or ability to obtain, in reservations systems such as OpenTable, as well as POS systems such as Toast", "Thorough understanding of excellent service, labor control, maintenance, merchandising and accounting", "Ability to obtain and maintain Alcohol Servers Permit (MAST) and WA Food handler Permit within 14 days of hire", "Thorough understanding of all food & beverage items offered, including ingredients, methods of preparation and proper service", "Fluency in English both verbally and non-verbally", "Ability to stand and walk for extended periods of time; push, pull, lift up to 50 lbs. Must be able to work in extreme temperatures like freezers (-10* F) and kitchens (+110* F), possible for one hour or more". Also "Due to the cyclical nature..." is schedule, not requirement. - Qualifications: maybe we can treat some of the above as qualifications; but to avoid duplication, we could put "Qualifications" as "Level 1 sommelier preferred" etc. But we already have that in Requirements. Perhaps we can split: Requirements = experience and core competencies; Qualifications = certifications/permits (MAST, Food Handler) and education? There's no education mentioned. Could put "Level 1 sommelier preferred; craft beer knowledge a plus" as Qualifications. But we need to avoid filler. Let's think: The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have separate headings allowed; we can choose to include only those with real content. If we think there's not enough distinct content for Qualifications, we could omit it. Similarly for Skills: we have "How You Will Lead" describing leadership behaviors; that could be Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll omit Qualifications if not distinct. Now gather content for each. About the role: combine "Who You Are" and "THE ROLE" first paragraph. Who You Are: "You are excited and passionate about being a leader in the three-ring circus that is a restaurant. You pride yourself in controlling chaos; and are adept at making each guest in your restaurant feel like they are the only person in the room. While your mission is to provide an unmatched experience for your guests, you value the work and feedback of your associates as well. You enjoy and excel in the fast-paced and often high-pressure environment to execute what is needed in exceeding our guest’s expectations and demonstrating the Aparium difference. You are attentive, courteous, efficient and motivate others by inspiring confidence, respect, enthusiasm, and collaboration. You are highly organized and can work in an often-unpredictable environment to meet deadlines, all while maintaining a positive and professional demeanor." THE ROLE: "The Chef de Bar reports directly to the Director of Restaurants and Bars. It is critical the person in this position is tactical and strategic; if you only prefer to “see the forest” and not “plant the trees,” then this is not a role for you. All leaders of Aparium are required to get down and dirty to unearth existing needs and personally ensure what needs to be fixed is repaired. As the Chef de Bar, you will lead the team at Firn, in addition to overseeing the Beverage Programs for the Bar, Restaurant, and Banquets. The Chef de Bar wears many different hats throughout the day – leading by example while spending the much of the day engaging with associates and guests before, during, and after services. We encourage our leaders to inspire and challenge each other to be their best. A large degree of self-motivation is needed to drive your department, while collaborating with the entire team to execute your beverage concepts at the highest level. As a leader within Aparium Hotel Group, you will work with a phenomenal group of peers who insist that you are collaborative, humble, experienced, and open-minded – no egos are allowed. The Chef de Bar will maintain and execute the Standards of Service for all Beverage areas, assuring success for the associate and guest experience." We can combine into a few paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" bullet list. Let's extract each bullet: - Reinforce the company's Art + Science ideologies to ensure the experiences of translocal hospitality, intuitive service, and collaboration are implemented and modeled by yourself and every leader of the hotel - Actively participate in recruitment, training, scheduling, supervising, coaching, and motivation of all Banquets, Restaurant, and Bar associates in order to create an environment that nurtures ideas and develops future talent for succession planning in the F&B program; effectively use corrective action to address root causes of issues, course-correcting any missed opportunities - Ensure timely set-up of the bar/lounge and adhere to food & beverage standards and guest requests through active communication with the F&B and Culinary Departments. Responsible for maintaining a strong guest and VIP relationship and ensuring all requests are communicated to staff. Manage inventory, control breakage/loss reduction of china, glass and silver related to restaurant services. Inspect and oversee the cleanliness and maintenance of all restaurant space, public areas, and service areas. Maintain regular communication with the F&B Management team to provide updates, discuss plans, communicate needs, and align on priorities, understanding that flexibility with your responsibilities is paramount to support a successful operation - Develop training systems and continuing education across beverage programs. For example, wine pairing classes and spirits tutorials - Works with Banquets Managers to deliver upscale guest packages and cost-effective product - Ensures that product is handled correctly, recipes are adhered to, and cost control SOPs are in place for all beverage related items - Evaluate each employee’s performance based on clearly communicated standards and expectations and hold the employees accountable for performance - Prepare qualified employees for promotion to the next position and continually develop all employees to improve performance; create a culture that promotes from within - Assists in other food & beverage departments as needed We need to keep each as
  • . Now Requirements: from "What You Will Need". Let's list each bullet: - Passion for the People, Place and Culture of our community, love of Restaurants and Guest Service also required - Minimum of five (2) years’ experience in a leadership role in Food & Beverage (Restaurant and Banquets/Events); hotel or restaurant opening experience is plus - Expert knowledge of wines, spirits, and craft cocktails, with ability to make pairing suggestions; Level 1 sommelier preferred; craft beer knowledge a plus - Must be proficient in Word, Excel and other applicable computer systems - Expert-level knowledge, or ability to obtain, in reservations systems such as OpenTable, as well as POS systems such as Toast - Thorough understanding of excellent service, labor control, maintenance, merchandising and accounting - Ability to obtain and maintain Alcohol Servers Permit (MAST) and WA Food handler Permit within 14 days of hire - Thorough understanding of all food & beverage items offered, including ingredients, methods of preparation and proper service - Due to the cyclical nature of the hospitality industry, associates may be required to work varying schedules to reflect the business needs of the hotel, including nights, weekends, and holidays (this is schedule, but we can keep in Requirements? Better to move to Schedule.)
