Stock Manager

Your mission: Should you decide to accept it… As our Stock Manager, you’ll be the backbone of our behind-the-scenes operation — managing deliveries, tracking inventory, and ensuring every outlet has exactly what it needs, when it needs it. From spotless storerooms to spot-on stock levels, you’ll help keep everything running smoothly and efficiently.

The Details: What exactly you will be doing…

• Receiving all goods per scheduled orders and verifying against purchase orders via Procure Wizard (or similar systems).
• Placing orders based on outlet requests, current stock levels, and budget requirements.
• Conducting regular stocktakes and assisting with external audits.
• Maintaining accurate stock control — logging all movement of goods in and out.
• Managing bar sundries (fruit, ice, juices) with attention to quality and minimal waste.
• Performing temperature checks and ensuring compliance with HACCP and food safety standards.
• Liaising with suppliers and departments to resolve discrepancies, returns, or credit notes.
• Supporting finance with invoice reconciliation and documentation.
• Acting as key holder for storerooms and cellars, maintaining security and compliance.
• Keeping all back-of-house areas immaculate, including cellars, dry stores, and cold storage.
• Ordering and replenishing cleaning and consumable supplies.
• Upholding hygiene and manual handling standards across the team.
• Collaborating with operational teams for forecasts, events, and last-minute requests.
• Providing clear communication on stock availability and offering guidance to outlet managers on order efficiency and budget alignment.
