What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented F&B Cost Controller with 10+ years of experience strengthening cost visibility, inventory accuracy, and employee expense management across hospitality operations. I’m skilled in cost analysis, waste control, internal compliance, and financial reconciliations, with hands-on expertise in Adaco, SUN, and Oracle ERP.
In my current role with Dubai Holding Group Services (Jumeirah Hotel's), I lead and mentor a team of six full-time employees in Cost Control and Expense Management. I oversee daily, weekly, and monthly F&B cost analysis, prepare and review monthly accruals, journal vouchers, and cost allocations, and run menu engineering to support pricing strategies and profitability.
I also drive system-driven accuracy by leading POS configuration, maintenance, and updates (Micros/Symphony), supporting audits with detailed cost analysis and documentation. Previously, I managed Micros Symphony–Adaco & ERP integration, improved variance reduction and stock accuracy, and supported month-end closing through inventory reconciliation and cost adjustments.
