What this job involves:

Navigating through the grueling demands of dining operations

For many people in the food industry, a busy kitchen and a military unit operate similarly—both require rigor, discipline and precision for success. So if you’re looking to grow your strength in the F&B area, this role may be perfect for you!

Like a high-ranking officer creating order and efficiency in a brigade, you’ll need to foster camaraderie and teamwork to get a kitchen through the rapid-fire demands of busy operations. You’ll also emphasize the biggest success factor in the kitchen—discipline—to ensure dining establishments’ strict adherence to high standards in food safety and quality. You’ll be an authority—like a military officer inspecting the troops—as you must go above and beyond in monitoring food preparation methods, portion sizes and presentation to ensure that a dish is as it should be, or even better!

Adopting intelligence officer-like vetting skills will help you go a long way, as you can use these in reviewing and developing menus based on factors such as nutritional value, popularity and cost.

Additionally, before the start of food service, you’ll need to sample the prepared food—it’s the best way to guarantee palatability and flavor conformity.

Keeping an eye on feedback, records and supplies

Are you an expert in handling customer feedback? In this role, you’ll develop ways to gauge customer satisfaction. You’ll also look into complaints about food quality and service and see to it that such issues are resolved accordingly.

Taking a proactive stance, you’ll review our operations regularly to identify opportunities for improving service, safety and overall performance. Likewise, you’ll determine which food offerings are popular among consumers.

Keeping tab of supply and equipment inventories and maintaining records on cafeteria operations also come with the role.

You’ll coordinate, as well, all equipment maintenance and repairs, waste removal and pest control activities. Carrying out hygiene audits both internally and through a third-party agency.

Ensuring proper documentation and keeping records (sanitation, food subsidy records, etc.) up to date and consistent with government standards are a must do.

Managing catering events

The role also involves arranging and negotiating with clients regarding the facilities and catering services for special events. This means you will be on top of production schedules, and work closely with a catering vendor to identify how much and what type of food to serve.

Sound like you? To apply you need to have:

In-depth understanding of the role’s ins and outs

You’ll need significant and relevant experience in handling base kitchens. Your impeccable skills in evaluating existing processes and tweaking them when necessary, will prove useful. You’ll also have solid background in formulating policies and developing new strategies and procedures.

Excellent vendor management skills and good working knowledge of important catering elements—including supplies, equipment, services ordering and inventory control—are also helpful.

Strong leadership and organizational skills

Are you a dependable leader who can effectively supervise and train employees? Do you have technical aptitude and report generation skills? If you said yes to all these, we are more than happy to discuss this opportunity with you.
