About The Position

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.

Previous experience in purchasing, receiving, or inventory control preferred (1–2 years in a hotel, restaurant, or warehouse setting is ideal)

Strong computer skills (Familiarity with inventory and purchasing systems, Excel, and basic data entry)
Excellent attention to detail (Accuracy in checking deliveries, entering data, and matching orders)

Responsibilities

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.
