Analyst, Culinary Systems – Menu
Remote (U.S.) | 33% Travel | $70,000–$75,000
Are you the person who notices when a PLU is off… before anyone else does?
Do you understand how a menu build translates from recipe to POS to reporting?
If so, we should talk.
We’re looking for a Culinary Systems Analyst to own and protect the integrity of our menu data across a multi-unit airport restaurant portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of Culinary, Operations, and Systems — ensuring what’s designed in R&D executes flawlessly in Simphony and CrunchTime.
This isn’t just data entry.
This is menu architecture.
What You’ll Own
Maintain and govern the master item list (PLUs, UPCs, POSIDs)
Ensure clean alignment between recipes, modifiers, routing, and reporting
Audit live locations and reconcile POS vs. back-office discrepancies
Support new unit openings, rollouts, and menu launches
Partner cross-functionally with Culinary, Data, Operations, and Commercial teams
Strengthen reporting accuracy across food, beverage, and retail items
What Makes You a Fit
Minimum 2+ years in menu data, item master management, or restaurant systems
Experience with Simphony and/or CrunchTime (or similar platforms)
Strong understanding of menu mix reporting and item structure logic
Advanced Excel skills (lookups, pivots, data validation)
Detail-obsessed, analytical, and comfortable owning data integrity
Able to work independently in a remote environment
Comfortable traveling ~33% across the U.S. and Canada
Why This Role Matters
In airport environments, precision matters.
Menu accuracy drives operational efficiency, financial reporting, and guest experience.
You will be the connective tissue between strategy and execution.
