F&B means food and beverage, the hospitality operations that prepare and serve food and drinks.
Food and beverage covers the connected kitchen and service operations through which a hospitality business feeds its guests. Marriott’s management description includes culinary, restaurant, beverage and room service operations within this scope. A department can therefore bring together cooks and service staff whose individual duties differ but contribute to the same offering. Managers coordinate daily operations across these functions, while individual roles may concentrate on one outlet or service. The abbreviation needs context in luxury recruitment because F&B can also mean Fragrance and Beauty. A food manufacturing reference likewise does not establish a hospitality service role.
