Vice president

Job Title: VP / AVP – F& B Concept & Commercial Lead

Business Unit: RMZ Private Capital, F& B Vertical

Location: Bangalore, Indi

a Role Overview

The VP / AVP – F& B Concept & Commercial Lead is part of core team responsible for evaluating and operationalizing every F& B venture RMZ enters — across JV, franchise, and self-operated models. This role is the commercial filter and culinary authority within that te

am. The ideal candidate is a chef by training who has since moved into ownership of the numbers — someone who can read a menu and a balance sheet with equal fluency. You have run the P& L of a standalone restaurant end to end, carrying full accountability for revenue, cost, and profitability. An MBA is a plus, but the non-negotiable is demonstrated P& L ownership paired with genuine kitchen credibility.

Key Responsibilities

Opportunity Evaluation Assess inbound and sourced F& B opportunities — JV, franchise, and self-operated — and build the business case (unit economics, capex, breakeven, yield on cost) for go/no-go decisions. Apply a sharp, numbers-first filter to every opportunity; protect RMZ from uncapped cost escalation that erodes returns. Commercial Model Inputs Work with leadership and partners to shape the right commercial model for each concept — operating splits, capex allocation, MG/revenue-share terms, and risk exposure. Hold the line on unit economics and capex discipline; know when to walk away from a deal. Concept & Culinary Judgment Evaluate brands, menus, kitchen design, and food cost viability; act as RMZ's internal culinary authority when assessing operator partners and self-operated concepts. Combine culinary credibility with commercial rigour — equally comfortable challenging a chef on food cost and a partner on deal terms. Financial Modelling & P& L Design Own the financial model for each venture and define the P& L structure the operations team will run against. Support development of long-term F& B partnerships and recurring capital-efficient operating programmes. Operationalization Translate an approved deal into a launch plan — vendor and operator coordination, pre-opening budget, licensing dependencies — and hand a clean operating framework to the Senior Associate. Oversee F& B fit out inputs: kitchen design briefs, MEP coordination, base build scope, and cost allocation. Portfolio Reporting Provide the leadership with a consolidated, decision-ready view across all live and pipeline F& B ventures. Operate with autonomy and sound judgment as one half of a two-person team; this is a builder's role, not a supervisory one.

Skills & Experience

8–10 years' experience, including a culinary career (trained or working chef) and subsequent restaurant P& L ownership. Standalone restaurant P& L experience — full accountability for revenue, cost, and profitability, not a hotel F& B or single-department role. Ability to build a business case: unit economics, capex modelling, breakeven, and yield on cost. Culinary judgment: able to assess menus, kitchen design, food costs, and operator quality with authority. Financial modelling capability: comfortable building and stress-testing P& L structures for new ventures. Commercial deal acumen: operating splits, capex allocation, MG/revenue-share structuring. MBA or equivalent commercial qualification is a plus. Builder's mindset - autonomy and judgment are non-negotiable.
