Job structure at LPM as a receiver
This isn’t as challenging a job as working in large warehouses or stores. But this requires attention to detail, accuracy, and speed. This role plays a vital part in the whole operation. So this position carries a lot of responsibility.
- Every morning, once you’ve completed the purchasing, delivery drivers will arrive from many areas with many items. Your task is to communicate with them, obtain the items, and ensure everything is correct per the delivery notes.
- Once you have received the delivery goods, such as dry items, fresh meats and seafood, vegetables, etc, you’re responsible for inspecting the items carefully and verifying, especially the meat and seafood items, that they are at the right temperature, the freshness of the vegetables with minimal damage, and the quality of the required products in the kitchen.
- Recording and updating in the system is essential. The inventories you receive every morning must be recorded in the system and filed in hard copy. Make sure you’re entering the exact information so it doesn’t lead to discrepancies or errors.
- Store organization. This is like a gem in the restaurant. What FOH and BOH requirements are there? So make sure the goods are in accordance with the FIFO system, stacked safely, and properly organized for picking.
- You will have to coordinate with every department to fulfill their goods requirements—kitchen staff, front-of-house staff, cleaning or stewarding staff, and the audit team. What’s most important is that what they request arrives on time, without delay
- Follow food hygiene practices in accordance with UAE food safety laws and HACCP regulations. Always check the expiry dates, the right temperature in chillers, and the dry goods area as well.
- Above and beyond all these tasks, one of the vital job tasks is coordinating vendors and suppliers. This is not just a check-box-tick job; it requires you to go the extra mile for the operation. So this goods-receiving operation has to be balanced. It’s in your hands.
Requirements and skill set
LPM is not looking for a perfect, experienced receiving clerk. What they value is passion, a hunger to learn, and critical thinking. What La Petite Maison is looking for in you is
- At least 2 years of proven working experience in a warehouse or a store as a receiver.
- A diploma in supply chain or business administration.
- A great team player. This job requires patience and endurance, so working with multiple sections requires strong support to achieve team goals.
- Working under pressure is another skill that LPM highly requires. There will be times when departments run out of things unexpectedly, and your job is to assist them in providing the required goods.
- The candidate’s physical health must be strong enough to lift boxes, move objects, and stand for long hours.
- Working knowledge of MS Excel, Google Spreadsheets, and inventory systems.
- Well-spoken English verbally; you will coordinate with people from different cultures, so your spoken English has to be perfect. Additionally, if you can speak Arabic or French, that would be an advantage.
A day at LPM as a receiving clerk
Once your morning schedule starts, confirm the morning deliveries. Most deliveries will be early morning, even before the restaurant opens. Clean your receiving area to keep items in a safe, proper manner. Once they arrive, count, check the quality, and follow the payment procedure. After the morning deliveries are done, you will have a job in the store to check the stock, expiry dates, and quality of the items, and rearrange them. Visit departments and reassure them about the request for the goods and confirm the deliveries; these duties are usually ongoing midday, and eventually, in the afternoon, you will do the paperwork. Updating records in the systems, filing invoices and other documents, inspecting damaged and returned items, and ensuring next-day deliveries are confirmed and prepared. So, this is a typical day as a receiving clerk at an LPM restaurant. Aside from this, you will have additional responsibilities regarding operational flows.
What LPM is offering
La Petit Maison is a world-class restaurant chain that continues to grow every day, so your job is secure and stable. According to market competitors, LPM offers a competitive salary package with many benefits.
- The monthly salary will be 4,500 AED, excluding overtime.
- The company provides an employment visa for a 3-year contract.
- Medical insurance included.
- Annual vacation leave with air tickets provided.

Ideal Candidate Profile
