Opportunity Summary :

Located within the Beacon Grand, originally established as The Sir Francis Drake in 1928, Starlite stands as a historic and revered cocktail establishment within the heart of San Francisco. Following decades of legacy, Starlite reopened in February 2024 and was quickly recognized as one of Esquire’s 50 Best Bars in America and among Condé Nast Traveler’s 22 Best Bars in San Francisco. Underpinning this restoration is a conscientious effort to preserve the stories and experiences woven into the fabric of the establishment's history.

Starlite is looking for a prestigious team to collaborate with new ownership and its esteemed partners to evolve its legacy.

  • Drive the culture of hospitality. Foster creativity in planning  and arranging  for special touches for VIP and special guests of all kinds.
  • Continually improve service through observation, collaboration and discussions with guests, staff, sales teams, Beacon Grand leadership,  and ownership. Host open and productive conversations with chef & bar leads to edit and adapt until Starlite sings.
