Company Description
- At Ennismore, we do things a little differently. We’re a small team with big ambitions, and food & beverage sits right at the heart of what makes our properties stand out.
- From neighbourhood restaurants to destination dining, F&B is a key driver of both our guest experience and our commercial performance.
- Through our fully integrated platform, Paris Society — with 50+ iconic venues, including 23 in Dubai — alongside 500+ restaurants and bars globally, this is where we truly come to life.
Job Description
- Own and lead the annual budgeting process across restaurant outlets and F&B operations — covering revenue planning, COGS, labour cost assumptions, menu mix, and cover volumes.
- Drive the weekly/monthly forecasting cycle with a focus on F&B revenue streams — wet vs. dry sales, seasonal trading patterns, and event/activation uplift.
- Prepare monthly and quarterly management reports with a deep F&B lens: outlet level P&L performance, revenue trends, food and beverage margin analysis, and key cost drivers including labour, waste, spoilage, and procurement.
- Build and maintain financial models (P&L, cash flow, unit economics) grounded in F&B operational realities — supporting scenario planning for new outlet openings, menu engineering, pricing strategies, promotional impact analysis, and concept evolution.
- Analyse variances against budget using F&B specific KPIs: average spend per cover, table turnover, food cost %, beverage cost %, and labour as % of revenue — across all locations and concepts, identifying risks and untapped opportunities.
- Act as a true business partner to F&B operations — working closely with chefs, bar managers, outlet managers, and procurement.
- Ensure accuracy and timeliness of financial data from POS systems, inventory management platforms, and ERP; oversee consolidation of multi outlet financials and maintain data integrity across all F&B reporting.
- Support month end and year end close processes with detailed performance commentary, trend identification, and flagging of operational risks and opportunities.
- Drive continuous improvement in FP&A processes, including automation of reporting, standardisation across outlets, and implementation of dashboards and BI tools.
- Present financial insights and recommendations to senior management with confidence and clarity — focusing on F&B profitability, cost efficiencies, concept performance, and growth opportunities across the portfolio.
- Ensure compliance with local regulations, company financial policies, and internal control standards, particularly around cash handling, inventory, and procurement.
- Act as the primary custodian for all corporate FP&A deadlines and requirements (e.g., monthly reporting, budget milestones, quarterly reforecasts).
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration or related field; Master’s/MBA is a plus
- Minimum 5+ years of experience in finance/FP&A roles; F&B, restaurant, or hospitality experience preferred — direct exposure to bar and restaurant operations is a strong advantage
- Strong technical knowledge of financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and variance analysis
- Advanced Excel skills; experience with BI reporting tools, data visualisation, ERP and consolidation systems an advantage
- Experience with SUN System (EPM) preferred
- Strong analytical and problem solving abilities; able to interpret complex data and present clear, actionable recommendations
- Strong business partnering skills: able to engage credibly with chefs, bar and outlet managers, and senior leadership alike
- Genuine interest in bars and restaurants — an understanding of and passion for the F&B industry, its culture and commercial dynamics, is as important to us as technical finance expertise
- Ability to thrive in a fast paced, multi unit environment with competing priorities and tight deadlines
