Job Description

Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort is preparing to open the newly reimagined Beach Club Restaurant—and we are building an exceptional team to bring it to life.

Located in the heart of Fripp Island’s Beach Club complex, this new restaurant will combine a relaxed coastal setting with warm, attentive hospitality and consistently excellent food and beverage experiences.

Opening a restaurant is a unique experience. Every team member plays a part in shaping how we work, how we serve, and how our guests feel. If you take pride in your work, enjoy creating memorable experiences, and want to help build something special from the beginning, we invite you to apply and join the opening team at the new Beach Club.
