@shantrevin
I drive cost-effective procurement and inventory operations across hospitality and logistics.
What I'm looking for
I'm managing end-to-end procurement and inventory at Eraeliya Villa & Garden, supporting uninterrupted operations for a boutique oceanfront resort. I deliver up to 10% savings through supplier negotiation, local sourcing, and price comparisons.
I led procurement for the Seaside Restaurant & Sunset Bar, covering FF&E, OS&E, kitchen, and bar equipment to support an on-time, on-budget opening. I also partner with founders on purchasing strategy, cost control, and reporting.
Across Camelot Beach Hotels and Cinnamon Red, I've maintained full stock availability, negotiated supplier contracts, and achieved annual savings of 10–15%. At Cinnamon Red, I led five purchasing and warehouse staff while improving sourcing, price analysis, and stock-variance control.
My background also includes restaurant operations, logistics, warehouse management, and hospitality service leadership. At The Ocean Cafe, I helped increase daily sales revenue by up to 280% while managing operations and supply chain for 3,000–4,000 guests.
