Desirable (but not essential) • Experience with hospitality-specific software (e.g., Fourth, Apicbase, or EPOS back-office tools)., • Knowledge of multi-VAT rates in food and drink (e.g., eat-in vs takeaway, alcohol, soft drinks)., • Previously managed or supported a team of site-level administrators.
