About the role:

The Commissary Manager leads Sweat and Tonic’s day-to-day commissary operations, ensuring every location is supported with consistent, high-quality products and service. This role oversees the commissary kitchen that prepares all F&B products for Tonic Bar, manages end-to-end laundry operations for all facilities, and owns procurement across departments, including ordering, tracking, and reporting related to fixed assets. The role is responsible for both the production and delivery of all assets within its scope. The Commissary Manager owns most supply chain relationships at Sweat and Tonic and plays a key role in managing operating costs reflected in the corporate consolidated income statement. The Commissary Manager partners closely with Operations and F&B leadership to maintain efficient workflows, control costs, and ensure the commissary and all facilities run smoothly and reliably behind the scenes.

Key responibilities:

Laundry

• Provide daily laundry service for all Sweat and Tonic locations, ensuring each site has the required par levels plus surplus to support peak demand.
• Plan, track, and adjust laundry production volumes to align with each location’s operating schedule and usage patterns.
• Maintain high machine uptime by overseeing preventative maintenance, troubleshooting issues, and coordinating repairs to minimize downtime.
• Own the laundry production and delivery schedule, tracking loads from intake through processing and dispatch to ensure on-time delivery to every location.
• Monitor inventory levels and turn times for key items, escalating risks early and reallocating capacity to prevent shortages.
• Monitor detergent and chemical usage levels for cost-effective outcomes at the required hygiene standard.
• Maintain detergent inventory, including supply-chain management.

Kitchen Production

• Lead daily commissary prep and production planning, turning forecasted demand into pars, batch sheets, and prep schedules for every location.
• Track and manage kitchen COGS by recipe costing, portion control, waste logs, and weekly variance reviews, then act quickly on gaps.
• Maintain supplier accountability by verifying specs, weights, and invoice pricing, documenting issues, and escalating consistently when standards slip.
• Protect product quality and food safety through SOPs, labelling and traceability, temperature and sanitation logs, and routine line checks.
• Coordinate outbound order packing, staging, and dispatch to ensure complete, accurate, on-time deliveries aligned to each site’s delivery window.
• Balance speed with consistency by training the team on standardized recipes, prep methods, and plating or packaging standards.
• Monitor inventory and production inputs to prevent stockouts and overproduction, keeping freshness high and wastage low.

Procurement

• Own end-to-end procurement for all operational supplies, from ordering to delivery across locations.
• Build and manage supplier relationships, negotiating pricing, service levels, and terms to keep costs low without compromising quality.
• Forecast demand and maintain pars to prevent stockouts while minimizing over-ordering, waste, and excess inventory.
• Track POs, delivery schedules, and receiving to ensure accurate, on-time fulfillment and fast issue resolution.
• Maintain accurate inventory records and cycle counts, with clear controls for storage, shrink, and usage.
• Own fixed-asset purchasing and tracking, including technology and equipment, ensuring assets are tagged, logged, and auditable.
• Monitor spend against budgets and report on cost drivers, savings initiatives, and vendor performance.
• Ensure procurement compliance, including approvals, documentation, and safety or regulatory requirements where applicable.

Cost-Centre Management

• Own commissary cost centres (food, beverage, laundry, supplies, fixed assets) and manage performance against budget, forecasting weekly and monthly variance to plan.
• Drive down on-site operational cost by improving yield, reducing waste, and standardizing portions through recipe costing, batch planning, and tight inventory controls.
• Reduce labor cost through demand-based production scheduling, workflow optimization, and cross-training that maximizes output per labor hour.
• Lower purchasing cost by consolidating vendor volume, negotiating pricing and terms, enforcing specs, and preventing invoice leakage across all locations.
• Protect margin on the consolidated income statement by centralizing production and procurement, converting location-level inefficiencies into scale advantages, and providing clear reporting that links commissary decisions to COGS and operating expense outcomes.
• Establish and track core KPIs (COGS %, waste %, inventory turns, purchase price variance, laundry cost per unit, delivery accuracy) and escalate risks early with corrective actions.

Team Management

• Lead and develop an on-site commissary team.
• Onboard, train and cross-train team members across laundry, procurement, packing, and driving support when required.
• Build and manage schedules to match forecasted demand and delivery timelines.
