Analyse &quot;Slow Moving&quot; and &quot;Dead Stock&quot; reports, advising the General Manager and Department Heads on clearance strategies to free up working capital.</li><li>
Monitor the &quot;Receiving Bay&quot; operations to ensure that goods entering the property match the quality, quantity, and price specified on the Purchase Orders.</li></ul><p></p><p><br>
</p><p></p><p><b>Food &amp; Beverage Cost Control</b></p><p>
</p><ul><li>Work with the Executive Chef to calculate accurate recipe costing cards for every menu item, ensuring the sales price achieves the target margin.</li><li>
Produce the Daily/Weekly Food &amp; Beverage Cost Report, highlighting any spikes in consumption that do not correlate with sales revenue.</li><li>
Audit the &quot;Spoilage and Waste&quot; logs to ensure that discarded items are recorded correctly and do not simply vanish.</li><li>
Verify the cost of &quot;Officer Checks&quot; (Staff Meals) and &quot;Entertainment&quot; checks to ensure internal consumption is allocated to the correct expense codes.</li></ul><p></p><p><br>
</p><p></p><p><b>Retail &amp; Operational Analysis</b></p><p>
</p><ul><li>Verify the margins on new retail collections before they hit the floor, ensuring the &quot;Landing Cost&quot; (shipping + duties) is factored into the final retail price.</li><li>
Audit the consumption of fuel and chemicals in the Agronomy department against the maintenance schedule.</li><li>
Review the &quot;Par Levels&quot; established for all operational supplies, adjusting them seasonally to prevent over-ordering.</li></ul><p></p><p><br>
</p><p></p><p><b>Reporting &amp; Systems</b></p><p>
</p><ul><li>Maintain the Materials Control (MC) or Inventory Management System, ensuring all item masters and vendor price lists are up to date.</li><li>

</p><p><b>ROLE QUALIFICATIONS</b></p><p>
</p><p>Education &amp; Experience</p><p>
</p><ul><li>Bachelor&rsquo;s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Hospitality Management.</li><li>
Minimum of 4&ndash;6 years of experience in Cost Control, specifically within a 5-star hotel, resort, or large-scale catering operation.</li><li>
Strong background in Food &amp; Beverage operations is essential, as this is the highest risk area for variance.</li><li>

</p><p></p><p>Technical Skills</p><p>
</p><ul><li>Advanced proficiency in Inventory Management Systems (e.g., Lightspeed, Moreau MC, Adaco, Check SCM).</li><li>
Expert-level Microsoft Excel skills (complex formulas for recipe modelling).</li><li>
Strong understanding of POS systems (Lightspeed, Micros/Simphony, etc) and how they link to inventory deduction.</li></ul><p>
</p><p></p><p><b>COMPETENCIES</b></p><p>
</p><p>Core Competencies</p><p>
</p><ul><li>Inquisitiveness: A natural sceptic; the instinct to ask &quot;why&quot; when the numbers don't add up (e.g., &quot;Why did we use 50kg of tenderloin but only sell 30 portions?&quot;).</li><li>
Assertiveness: The confidence to challenge senior operational figures (like an Executive Chef or Head Pro) regarding waste or portion control without being aggressive.</li><li>
Accuracy: An obsession with precision; understanding that a small error in a recipe card can cost thousands over a year.</li><li>
Integrity: Incorruptible ethics when dealing with suppliers and receiving goods.</li><li>
Operational Knowledge: Understanding <i>how</i> a kitchen or golf shop works (e.g., knowing that meat shrinks when cooked or that demo clubs depreciate) to make realistic assessments.</li></ul></div><p></p>
