We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Summary, Essential Management Responsibilities, Financial Leadership, Operational Leadership, Compliance Responsibilities, Leadership Expectations, Guest Experience, Team Development, Qualifications, Physical Requirements, Work Environment, Success Measures. We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we can also use other headings? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings if applicable, but we can also use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they want us to map sections to those headings. However we must include a section only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include. We have content: Position Summary (could be About the role). Essential Management Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Financial Leadership (maybe part of Responsibilities). Operational Leadership (Responsibilities). Compliance Responsibilities (maybe Requirements? but it's compliance). Leadership Expectations (maybe Skills?). Guest Experience (maybe Responsibilities). Team Development (maybe Responsibilities). Qualifications (Qualifications). Physical Requirements (maybe Requirements? but could be part of Qualifications). Work Environment (maybe not a standard heading but could be omitted? Not in list). Success Measures (maybe not needed). The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we should combine similar content. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details but can format as lists. We need to remove boilerplate: FLSA status, Reports To, Location? Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short

    or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with location and reporting line maybe. We must not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). So no heading for "Restaurant Manager". We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. There's no pay, schedule, benefits specifics. So we omit those sections. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (Position Summary), Responsibilities (combining Essential Management Responsibilities, Financial Leadership, Operational Leadership, Leadership Expectations, Guest Experience, Team Development), Requirements (Qualifications + Physical Requirements maybe), maybe Compliance as part of Responsibilities? Could be separate but we want few sections. We need to use

    for each section heading. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we can list each bullet as
    • . For qualifications we can list each as
    • . For physical requirements maybe also list. We need to preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any detail. So we need to include each bullet point from the posting. Let's extract content. Position Summary paragraph: "The Restaurant Manager is a member of the management team responsible for directing all aspects of the Food & Beverage operation, including restaurant, bar, kitchen, catering, concessions, and banquet operations, as applicable.

      Responsibilities

        combine all responsibility bullets from Essential Management Responsibilities, Financial Leadership, Operational Leadership, Leadership Expectations, Guest Experience, Team Development, Compliance Responsibilities? Compliance could be part of responsibilities but maybe better as its own section? But we want few sections. Could combine compliance into responsibilities as well. But we must preserve all detail; we can list them all under one
          . That would be long but okay. Alternatively we could have separate sections for Responsibilities and Requirements (Qualifications+Physical). That seems reasonable. We need to avoid thin sections; we have two substantive sections: About the role and Responsibilities and Requirements. That's three sections. We could also include Work Environment as a short paragraph under About the role or separate? But it's not in the list of headings; we could omit or fold into About the role as a paragraph. Success Measures could be part of Responsibilities? It's evaluation criteria; maybe we could include as a separate section "Performance Evaluation" but not in list. Better to fold into Responsibilities as a bullet list? But it's not a duty; it's how performance is measured. Could be omitted? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must include success measures somewhere. Could be a section "Performance Metrics" but not in allowed headings list. However the instruction says use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. It says "use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies we should use those headings when appropriate, but we could also use other headings if needed? The instruction: "use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It might be interpreted as we should use those exact headings for sections, not create new ones. It says "use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests examples, not exhaustive list. But later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can create sections as needed, using

          . So we can create sections like "Performance Evaluation" if we want. However they prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we can incorporate success measures into Responsibilities as a bullet list under "Performance Metrics" but that adds a subheading? Not needed; we can just add bullet points under Responsibilities. Thus we will have sections: - About the role (Position Summary + Work Environment maybe) - Responsibilities (all duty bullets + compliance + leadership expectations + guest experience + team development + success measures) - Requirements (Qualifications + Physical Requirements) We need to ensure we don't miss any detail. Let's craft HTML. Start with

          About the role

          then

          containing position summary paragraph and work environment sentence. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail: position summary paragraph includes multiple sentences; we can keep as one

          . Then add work environment sentence maybe as another

          or same

          . Better separate

          for clarity. Then

          Responsibilities

          then
            with
          • for each bullet. We need to list all bullets from: Essential Management Responsibilities (9 items) Financial Leadership (let
