Bringing excellence to the table

From time to time, you will also reach out to staff and employees for their feedback through the cafeteria online survey to get a fuller picture of the strengths and improvement areas of your services.

Taking budget into account

One of your challenges will be to make smart, cost-effective decisions with regard to the use of all resources such as stocks, team members and company assets. As such, you must to keep a close watch on the budget and come up with saving opportunities to reduce cost.

You will also prepare the F&B operational manual or handbook and take part in the weekly call with all café SPOC and FMs to discuss any operational challenges. As the unit’s go-to person, you should also stand ready to offer your advice and solutions on daily operational challenges.

Being a stickler for safety

This role will also keep you on your toes, as you will need to make sure that catering operations—from food and raw material specifications to equipment—are kept safe and secure, and comply with all health and safety regulations.

On top of that, you will conduct work and food safety audits as a preventive approach. You’ll also have a hand in preparing the surprise cafeteria monthly audit calendar, which you will share with the line manager. You’ll also be expected to be an ace initiative when it comes to reducing food waste for all cafeterias.

Strategically savvy

This position is a perfect opportunity for you to bring in your operational expertise, as you generate well thought out policies and strategies. You should also be able to carry out audits and dig through evidence through observation, interview and sampling of documentation and records.

A master multitasker

Do you have a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and strong focus on getting things done right? Your organisational skills will be imperative, as you’ll be expected to sit on top of whatever demands thrown your way. If you’re also a quick thinker and natural problem solver, then we want you!
