Do you get a strange sense of satisfaction from a perfectly reconciled stock count? Can you spot a costing error from a mile away, and does “wastage” make you a little uneasy? If numbers, negotiations, and knowing exactly where every bottle and box went is your kind of puzzle keep reading.
A well established Caf is looking for a Food & Beverage Controller / Procurement specialist to keep our costs in check, our suppliers in line, and our kitchen and bar stocked with exactly what they need no more, no less.
What you’ll be doing:
- Managing purchasing, ordering, and supplier relationships for food and beverage stock
- Negotiating pricing and contracts to keep quality high and costs sensible
- Conducting regular stock takes, audits, and variance reports
- Tracking food and beverage costs against budget and flagging red flags early
- Working closely with the kitchen and bar teams to forecast needs accurately
- Implementing and enforcing stock control procedures to minimize waste and shrinkage
- Keeping detailed, accurate records for management reporting
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in F&B control, procurement, or hospitality cost management
- Sharp attention to detail and strong analytical skills
- Confident negotiator who can build solid supplier relationships
- Comfortable with spreadsheets, stock systems, and reporting tools
- Someone who can spot a discrepancy before it becomes a problem
- A team player who understands how the numbers connect to what happens on the floor and in the kitchen
What you’ll get:
- Competitive salary based on experience
- A role where your work directly protects the bottom line
- Collaborative relationship with kitchen and management teams
- Room to grow into senior operations or finance roles
- The quiet satisfaction of a stockroom that finally makes sense
If you love the back-of-house numbers game as much as others love the front-of-house buzz we want you on our team.
Apply today. Help us make sure every dollar and every ingredient works as hard as we do.
