Position Summary

The HR Specialist will be responsible for managing end-to-end human resources functions for the F&B business, supporting both restaurant operations and the head office/commissary. The role will cover recruitment, employee relations, onboarding, payroll coordination, government compliance, performance management, training, employee records, and HR administration.
