The Business Olympian Program is designed for emerging hospitality professionals ready to elevate their careers through real-world experience inside some of Naples’ most prestigious hospitality venues. Created by entrepreneur Veljko Pavicevic — the visionary behind Sails Restaurant, The Butcher Private, Omasava, and Sava — this paid, part-time leadership track offers unmatched exposure to elite hospitality operations, mentorship, and career development.
Participants gain hands-on experience across all facets of restaurant operations, from food preparation and service execution to front-of-house leadership and operational management. More than an internship, the program immerses students and early professionals in the culture, precision, and standards that define world-class hospitality.
Ideal for hospitality students, recent graduates, and early professionals already working in the industry, the program is structured to complement academic schedules, current employment, and personal commitments. Participants benefit from direct mentorship, professional networking opportunities, and the chance to earn recommendations from one of Southwest Florida’s most respected hospitality leaders.
For individuals committed to excellence and eager to grow within an elite hospitality environment, the Business Olympian Program offers a rare opportunity to accelerate a hospitality career through meaningful experience, leadership training, and operational immersion.
