Job Title

Food & Beverage Intern

Job Description

Canoe Brook Country Club is offering a Food & Beverage Front of House Internship designed for individuals who are passionate about hospitality and aspire to build a long-term career in dining room and front-of-house management.

This is not a typical service internship. Interns will be immersed in the day-to-day leadership, operations, and service culture of a premier private country club, working directly with experienced hospitality professionals and gaining hands-on exposure to what it takes to become a successful Dining Room Manager.

If you're ready to jumpstart your career and make a positive impact in a fun and dynamic environment, we'd love to hear from you!

What You’ll Learn & Experience:
As a Front of House Intern, you will gain real-world experience in:

Dining room operations in a high-volume, member-focused environment
Service standards, steps of service, and guest engagement at a private club level
Staff supervision, floor management, and pre-shift leadership
Reservation systems, table management, and pacing of service
Event and banquet service execution (member events, private functions)
POS systems and service documentation
Exposure to scheduling, labor management, and service training programs
Understanding the relationship between Front of House, Culinary, and Club Leadership

Interns will work alongside Dining Room Managers, Food & Beverage Leadership, and Senior Club Management, gaining mentorship and insight into the professional expectations of hospitality leaders.

Candidate Qualifications

This opportunity is ideal for someone who:

Is pursuing or considering a career in Hospitality Management
Has a strong interest in Front of House leadership and dining room operations
Demonstrates professionalism, initiative, and a service-first mindset
Enjoys working with people and leading by example
Is eager to learn the “why” behind service decisions, not just the “how”
The successful candidate will be required to work evenings and weekends as scheduled

Prior restaurant or hospitality experience is a plus but not required. A positive attitude and desire to grow are essential.
