-   Make commercially sound decisions regarding market entry, capacity creation, infrastructure, investments, and resource deployment.
-   Translate operating standards into consistent execution across **product quality, food safety, availability, service levels, and customer experience**.
-   Manage perishable-product operations with strong control over food costs, wastage, inventory, fulfilment, capacity utilisation, and productivity.
-   Establish operating reviews and track key metrics covering revenue, outlet economics, productivity, payback periods, ramp-up performance, and profitability.
-   Partner closely with central teams across Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, Finance, People, Product, and Technology.
-   Build strong local networks of vendors, suppliers, partners, and talent to support regional expansion.
-   Recruit, structure, mentor, and lead regional leadership and operating teams with clear accountability and performance expectations.

-   Demonstrated experience **launching a new market, central kitchen, operating cluster, dark-store network, or multi-unit business** rather than only managing an established operation.

-   Strong knowledge of food operations, perishable supply chains, central kitchens, store/dark-store economics, and multi-unit operations.
