Think you have what it takes to be the magic ingredient in the recipe that is Licious? Read on...

What makes the role meaty?

• Sales & Revenue Ownership: Own the store's daily, weekly and monthly sales number not just its execution. Chase target recovery the same day, drive upselling of value-added products, and run local activation and customer reactivation.
• Operations & Inventory Excellence: Run opening and closing readiness end-to-end from early-morning inventory receipt to store closing.
• People Leadership: Run manpower planning, rostering and floor leadership. Train, coach and mobilise your team.
• Customer Championship: Be the default problem-solver for customer, quality and floor issues.
• Resolve grievances directly and build lasting relationships with the local community.
• Compliance & Commercial Awareness: Maintain hygiene / food-safety discipline as a habit, not audit-prep. Stay audit-ready, keep daily and weekly reporting current, and read and act on basic cost, wastage and margin levers.
