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 in office 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.;
