The Food and Beverage Cellar Controller will oversee the efficient management, inventory control, and distribution of all beverages from the main cellar to various outlets and departments e.g. Meeting & Events, In-Room Dining, Orchid, Green, 1215 Bar & Terrace, Il Giardino, and Windsor Brasserie.

• Review and approve outlet requisitions to agreed deadlines and prepare stock for scheduled collections.
• Apply FIFO principles and carry out quality checks on receipt and issue of stock.

• Produce regular stock and variance reports, flagging low levels to prevent shortages.
• Maintain correct storage conditions, cleanliness and organisation within the cellar.
• Achieve high inventory accuracy, control variances and support GP targets.
