Senior Associate

RMZ · India

Job Title: Senior Associate – F&B Operations

Business Unit: RMZ Private Capital, F&B Vertical

Location: Bangalore, India

Role Overview

The Senior Associate – F&B Operations is a part of core team responsible for operationalising every F&B venture RMZ enters. This role takes approved concepts from launch through to live, P&L-accountable, steady-state operation.

The ideal candidate has run restaurants on the floor — managing the full operation day to day, not a single function. You own what happens on the ground: staffing, service standards, supplier management, compliance, inventory, and the daily controllables that determine whether a restaurant performs. Standalone restaurant experience is strongly preferred over hotel F&B operations.

Key Responsibilities

1. Operational Execution

• Take approved F&B concepts from launch into steady-state operation — opening readiness, staffing, SOPs, service standards, and supplier onboarding.
• Move fast through ambiguity — early-stage ventures require someone who can stand up an operation from scratch and run it independently.

1. Day-to-Day Operations Management

• Own the operational controllables across RMZ’s F&B units — labour, inventory, wastage, vendor performance, and service quality.
• Be hands-on and present where the work happens; this role lives in the detail of execution.

1. Pre-Opening & Launch

• Coordinate fit-out readiness, licensing and statutory compliance (FSSAI, excise, fire NOC, municipal), vendor appointment, and the pre-opening checklist alongside the VP / AVP.
• Manage pre-opening budgets and ensure handover from construction to operations is clean and on schedule.

1. Cost & Inventory Control

• Run procurement, inventory, and cost controls on the ground, feeding accurate operational data back into the P&L.
• Run tight operational and cost discipline; catch problems on the floor before they reach the P&L.

1. Partner & Operator Coordination

• Serve as RMZ’s operational point of contact with JV/franchise partners and on-site teams, ensuring delivery against agreed standards.
• Partner closely with the VP / AVP as the second half of a tight, accountable two-person team.

1. Reporting

• Provide the leadership with reliable operational and cost reporting from the field.
• Maintain accurate records of daily controllables, vendor performance, and compliance status.

Skills & Experience

• 6–8 years as a restaurant manager with end-to-end operations responsibility — not a single function.
• Standalone restaurant operations experience is strongly preferred over hotel F&B.
• Proven track record in pre-opening, staffing, and cost/inventory control.
• Hands-on and present where the work happens — this role lives in the detail of execution.
• Ability to stand up an operation from scratch and deliver steady-state performance independently.
• Strong vendor management, procurement, and compliance (FSSAI, excise, licensing) knowledge.
• Reliable operational reporting discipline — accurate data from the field to the P&L.
