11. Forecasting against occupancy
12. Managing food cost, stock, ordering and wastage

The right person could come from hotels, resorts, holiday parks, cruise ships, contract catering, large events or high-volume branded food operations.
What matters most is that you understand scale, structure and people.
Benefits include:
16. Salary up to £55,000
