Receiving, Inspection & Storage
- Inspect all incoming deliveries for quality, correct quantities, weight, and proper packaging against purchase orders and delivery chalans.
- Reject substandard goods (e.g., damaged packaging, bruised produce, or incorrect temperatures for chilled items) and document discrepancies.
- Oversee the proper storage of goods, ensuring that dry storage, chillers, and deep freezers are organized, labeled, and maintained at required food-safety temperatures.
- Maintain strict cleanliness, hygiene, and pest control protocols within all storage rooms and walk-in coolers.
Vendor Coordination & Procurement Support
- Coordinate with approved suppliers and vendors regarding delivery schedules, lead times, and returns of damaged goods.
- Generate purchase requisitions based on cafe demand, seasonal menu updates, and current stock levels.
- Verify vendor invoices against received goods and forward accurate paperwork to the finance/accounts department for processing.
Internal Issuing & Waste Tracking

- Maintain a detailed daily wastage log (expired items, damaged goods, or trimmings) and report insights to management to help optimize food costs.
