About the Role
We are looking for a Head of Production to lead and scale our centralised production operations. This role is critical for ensuring cost control, consistency, and readiness for multi-store and multi-city expansion.
The ideal candidate should think beyond a single kitchen and be capable of building replicable systems for growth.
Key Responsibilities1. Centralised Production
- Design and manage central kitchen workflows
- Decide what production is centralised vs store-level finishing
- Plan batch sizing, yield control, and shelf-life
- Manpower planning with a scale mindset (not single-store operations)
2. Product Costing & Margin Control
- Create standardised recipes with exact gram weights
- Perform per-SKU costing (raw materials, labour, wastage, overheads)
- Set and monitor target food cost % for expansion formats (1000–1200 sq ft stores)
- Build a replicable costing bible for future cities and franchising
Strong costing knowledge is mandatory — this role is crucial for scalable growth.3. Quality & Consistency
- Define clear quality benchmarks (taste, texture, portion size, finish)
- Implement QC checklists at central kitchen and store level
- Conduct periodic store audits
- Control supplier quality and manage substitutions
4. Training & SOPs
- Train store bakers, commis, and supervisors
- Create simple, foolproof SOPs (easy to execute, not chef-heavy)
- Ensure product consistency across all outlets (present & future)
Candidate Profile
- Experience in central kitchen / bakery / QSR / multi-outlet food operations
- Strong understanding of costing, yields, and standardisation
- Hands-on, system-driven, and expansion-oriented mindset
- Prior experience supporting multi-store or franchise models is a plus
