Purpose

To protect and grow the hotel's gross margin by owning how The Agora buys, prices, counts and controls everything, keeping quality high, waste low and suppliers honest.

Key Responsibilities

·  Own all purchasing for the hotel & restaurant operation, ordering against upcoming events, occupancy and table reservations.

·  Build and hold supplier relationships, negotiating price, terms and quality and sourcing alternatives when needed.

·  Keep the POS backend accurate, with ingredients, products, recipes and the latest prices all current, so costings, counts and margin reconcile.

·  Run weekly and monthly stock counts, keep the count templates current, and investigate every variance to its cause.

·  Work with the kitchen and restaurant on recipe adherence, menu costing and waste management.

·  Process supplier invoices into the app and the correct ledger category, checking prices against what was agreed.

·  Keep every licence and certificate current, and be the hotel's first call to suppliers and authorities when something comes up.

Must Have

·  Experience in hospitality, F&B, purchasing, cost control and administration or similar commercial role.

·  A confident negotiator who is comfortable on the phone with suppliers and public authorities.

·  Strong numeracy and an easy familiarity with POS systems, spreadsheets and reporting tools.

·  Methodical and well organised, able to run weekly cycles while handling one-off requests without dropping either.

·  A proactive problem-solver with a real sense of ownership who follows things through.

Nice to Have

·  Basic accounting knowledge: ledger categories, invoice handling and month-end discipline.

·  An eye for data: spotting what waste, cost and revenue trends are pointing to.

·  Confident using AI tools to speed up sourcing, analysis and routine admin.

·  Greek: Essential for daily contact with local suppliers, authorities and the community
