Are you the kind of person who spots the difference between navy and midnight blue? Does a mismatched order make you cringe? Good - you're exactly who we need. As our Purchasing Clerk, you'll play a vital behind-the-scenes role, inspecting every delivery like a quality-control ninja. From fresh produce to paper goods, you'll ensure everything that comes into the hotel meets the gold standard - no wilting lettuce or off-brand napkins allowed! You'll work closely with our Food & Beverage and Purchasing departments to confirm that all products, both edible and not-so-edible, are exactly what we ordered - nothing more, nothing less. Prompt, precise, and powered by attention to detail, you'll be the first set of eyes (and maybe the most important) in our supply chain.

  • Inspect with Intention - Carefully check each shipment against purchase orders and invoices - confirming that the quantity, quality, size, weight, pricing, and expiration dates are spot on. If something's off, you catch it before it hits the floor.
  • Seal the Deal - Sign and date each invoice and packing slip to confirm everything's accounted for. You're the final checkpoint in our quality chain.
  • Keep the Records Right - Input receipts into our system with accuracy and speed, supporting a seamless flow to Accounts Payable. Daily documentation = daily excellence.
  • Communicate Like a Pro - Shortage? Delay? You're the first to speak up. Alert the F&B Purchasing Manager immediately so we can stay one step ahead.
  • Run the Numbers - Prepare and distribute daily reports for food, beverage, and open purchase orders. These numbers keep our teams aligned and operations running strong.
  • Team Player in Action - Assist the storeroom team with filling requisitions and keeping our storage areas sparkling clean and organized. A clean storeroom is a happy storeroom!
  • Support Inventory Success - Pitch in with month-end inventory counts - accuracy here means better decisions hotel-wide.
  • Close It Down Right - Follow end-of-day procedures to the letter: cooler doors shut, everything locked, keys tagged, and logs completed. You leave things better than you found them.
  • Tools You'll Use - You'll be hands-on with our systems and equipment - including computers, phones, printers, pallet jacks, and more. You've got the tools, and you know how to use them.
  • Partners in Service - Work closely with chefs, F&B leaders, and associates across departments. Every interaction is a chance to build trust, deliver excellence, and live the Omni Service Tradition.
