• Serve as a liaison between departments—such as culinary, finance, and logistics—to resolve operational bottlenecks.
• Train and mentor new staff on standard operating procedures, equipment use, and company policies.
• Support menu development or supply chain optimisation projects by gathering data, analysing usage trends, and proposing improvements.

• Basic proficiency with inventory management software, spreadsheets, and point-of-sale systems.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills to coordinate across diverse teams and with external vendors.
