Yes, with reporting lines and the required food and licensing competence clearly stated.
Who approves a new supplier?
The employer's purchasing and food-safety approval process should apply before use.
Can the role cover several hotel outlets?
Yes. Name or describe the restaurants, bars, room-service and event operations included, together with local managers and responsibility outside normal service hours.
Does every Food and Beverage Manager need a personal licence?
Not for every post. The employer should identify the licensed activities actually assigned and avoid implying a qualification that is unnecessary or not held.
Can supplier authority be limited?
Yes. Set approved suppliers, tender or quote requirements, spend thresholds and the approval needed for substitutions, new contracts or capital equipment.
How should allergen responsibility be allocated?
The contract can require oversight of the approved information and communication system while preserving the specific verification duties of kitchens, suppliers and authorised food-safety leads.
Can department performance targets be included?
Yes, but revenue and cost measures should operate alongside safe staffing, food controls, licensing and accurate reporting rather than encourage concealment or unsafe shortcuts.
Who approves large guest compensation?
Routine recovery can be delegated within a stated limit; substantial refunds, contractual disputes or insurer matters should follow the hotel's senior approval route.
