Your day begins at 8 AM reviewing reservation covers for a hotel's three F&B outlets — an all-day dining, a fine-dining specialty restaurant, and a rooftop bar — and briefing outlet managers on VIP guest preferences. Afternoons alternate between a cost control meeting with the Executive Chef reviewing food cost percentage, interviewing candidates for a Sous Chef vacancy, and inspecting kitchen hygiene before a FSSAI audit.
