The fire is crackling, the patio heaters are glowing, and every table is full of happy skiers demolishing burgers and craft beer—that is the electric winter vibe you will own as Restaurant Manager at Black Diamond Bar & Grill, 5335 Big White Road, Kelowna BC V1P 1P3. This iconic on-mountain lodge is hiring one experienced leader on a permanent full-time basis at $45 hourly for 30–40 hours per week.

Black Diamond is Big White’s social heartbeat—après-ski central with live music, huge patios, and a menu of elevated pub classics that keeps locals and tourists coming back.

• Negotiate with suppliers & book catering/private events.
• Run nightly revenue reports and weekly P&L reviews.
• Keep health & safety, WorkSafe, and liquor compliance perfect.
• Be the face of the venue—handle VIPs, complaints, and compliments.

Benefits

$45 hourly = $70,200–$93,600 yearly.

• $45/hr – one of the highest mountain rates in Canada.
• 30–40 hrs/week – paid overtime if over 40.
