Senior associate

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

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
