Restaurant Revenue and Experiences Manager - Bar Sprezzatura

About the Role

Bar Sprezzatura is a unique escape into Italian culture and cuisine, located in the historic Heathman Hotel. A bustling lunch spot by day and aperitivo and cicchetti bar at night, we transport guests to a world where timeless traditions meet the vibrant charm of coastal Italy.

The Restaurant Revenue & Experiences Manager is responsible for maximizing the restaurant’s topline revenue by curating, cultivating, and converting high-value guest opportunities—from private dining and group sales to on-site activations, brand partnerships, and maximizing reservations.
