Why This Production Specialist Role at ALBAIK Stands Out
Hands-On Impact Across Restaurants: You are not tied to a desk — you visit restaurants, assess production, and help teams fix real issues that affect cost, waste, and quality
Engineering Meets Operations: The role suits an industrial engineer who enjoys using data, process improvement, and Six Sigma thinking in a fast-moving restaurant setting
New Restaurant Openings: You will help make sure new restaurants are production-ready and meet operational standards from day one
Career Growth: Production specialists in QSR can progress toward Senior Specialist, Operations Excellence Manager, Area Operations Manager, and Head of Production roles
Position Overview
The Production Specialist monitors and improves production and operational performance across assigned restaurants. You will visit restaurants to carry out production assessments, mock audits, and compliance checks; analyze production performance including food cost, waste, consumption, productivity, and operational efficiency; find performance gaps and help put corrective action plans (CAPA) in place; train and coach restaurant production teams; track production KPIs and drive continuous improvement; support new restaurant openings so they are production-ready and compliant; and make sure company procedures, production standards, and local requirements are followed.
Why This Role Matters: In a busy quick-service restaurant, small differences in how food is prepared, portioned, and tracked add up quickly — in cost, waste, speed, and consistency. As Production Specialist, you spot those differences through visits, audits, and data, then help teams close the gaps. Better production discipline protects margins, keeps product quality consistent for guests, and makes every new restaurant opening stronger from the start.
