Job Summary




  • We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Procurement Officer who understands the fast-paced rhythm of a quick service restaurant.

  • This isn’t a desk-only role it’s for someone who knows how to balance numbers with relationships, negotiate smartly, and keep the supply chain running smoothly every single day.

  • The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of food and packaging sourcing, cost control, and vendor management and a genuine passion for operational excellence.



Key Responsibilities

Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Management:




  • Identify, evaluate, and onboard reliable suppliers for food ingredients, packaging materials, cleaning supplies, and restaurant consumables.

  • Negotiate pricing, payment terms, and contracts to ensure best value without compromising on quality or delivery timelines.

  • Maintain strong professional relationships with vendors to foster transparency, trust, and accountability.



Inventory Planning & Cost Control:




  • Monitor stock levels across multiple outlets and coordinate timely replenishment to avoid shortages or overstocking.

  • Work closely with restaurant and warehouse teams to forecast demand based on sales trends and seasonality.

  • Track and analyze price fluctuations to maintain competitive cost structures.



Quality & Compliance:




  • Ensure all purchased items meet company standards for quality, food safety, and regulatory compliance.

  • Conduct periodic supplier audits in collaboration with the QA and Operations teams.

  • Address non-conformance issues promptly, documenting corrective actions and follow-up measures.



Data & Reporting:




  • Maintain accurate records of orders, supplier performance, and pricing histories.

  • Prepare regular reports on procurement spend, supplier performance metrics, and inventory turnover.

  • Support the finance department with reconciliations, purchase order tracking, and documentation for audits.



Collaboration & Process Improvement:




  • Partner with operations, finance, and kitchen teams to ensure smooth coordination of supply chain activities.

  • Identify areas for process optimization from order cycles to cost-saving opportunities.

  • Stay informed on market trends and new product alternatives that can enhance efficiency or sustainability.



Qualifications & Experience




  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Procurement, Business Administration, or related field.

  • 3+ years of relevant experience, preferably in a restaurant, retail, or FMCG environment.

  • Strong negotiation, communication, and analytical skills.

  • Proficiency in procurement or ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or similar).

  • Knowledge of food safety and handling standards is a strong advantage.
