- Analyze purchasing trends and prepare monthly cost and savings reports for management.
- Stay updated on F&B market trends, product innovations, and supplier developments by attending industry expos and events.
Requirements:
- Minimum 3–5 years of procurement experience in the hospitality or F&B industry; experience with perishables is a strong advantage.
- Proven track record in vendor negotiation, strategic sourcing, and cost control.
- Solid knowledge of hospitality procurement standards, food safety regulations, and supply chain operations.
- Strong organizational, analytical, and interpersonal skills.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and procurement software (e.g., Odoo, or similar).
