Pizza Workshop is a growing multi-outlet restaurant brand specializing in handcrafted pizzas and casual dining. We are building a highly structured, data-driven operating system across finance, operations, inventory, sales and reporting.

We are looking for a hands-on Finance Controller / MIS professional who can help us establish strong financial visibility and control across our restaurant operations.

This is not a conventional bookkeeping role. The objective is to convert raw financial and operational data into accurate MIS, cash-flow visibility and actionable management insights.

We are looking for someone who can answer:

"Where did the money go, why did it go there, what is happening at each outlet, and what should management pay attention to?"

The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with imperfect data initially and building the system progressively.

This is initially a part-time / fractional role , with the possibility of expanding the engagement based on performance and business requirements.

Candidates may be evaluated through a paid practical assignment involving sample restaurant financial data.

Please apply only if you are comfortable working hands-on with data, reconciliation, MIS and business analysis rather than bookkeeping alone.
