I think you can apply under FSW with valid job offer.
1311- bookkeepers category B occupation
6311 Food service supervisors category B occupation

"A valid job offer has to be for permanent, full-time and not seasonal work in an NOC 0, A or B occupation.
Depending on your case, there are different factors that make a job offer valid.
1. You currently work in Canada on a temporary work permit, and:
your work permit is valid both when you apply and when the visa is issued (or you are authorized to work in Canada when your visa is issued), and
CIC issued your work permit based on a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Skills Development Canada (ESDC), and
you are working for an employer named on your work permit who has made a permanent job offer based on you being accepted as a federal skilled worker.
2. You currently work in Canada in a job that is exempt from the LMIA requirement under:
an international agreement (such as, the North American Free Trade Agreement) or
a federal-provincial agreement.
Also:
your work permit must be valid both when you apply and when the visa is issued (or you are authorized to work in Canada when your visa is issued), and
your current employer has made a permanent job offer based on you being accepted as a skilled worker.
3. You currently:
do not have a work permit, or
do not plan to work in Canada before you get a permanent resident visa.
OR
are working in Canada and a different employer has offered to give you a permanent full-time job,
OR
are working in Canada in a job that is exempt from a Labour Market Impact Assessment, but not under an international or federal-provincial agreement, and an employer has made you a permanent job offer based on you being accepted as a skilled worker,
AND
The employer has a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment from ESDC.
Note:
You cannot get a Labour Market Impact Assessment from ESDC. Your employer must do this for you.
ESDC will only confirm permanent job offers for occupations listed in skill type 0 or skill level A or B of the NOC.
A CIC officer must be convinced that you are able to perform the job offered to you. If the occupation is regulated in Canada, the officer must also be convinced that you will be able to become licensed or certified when in Canada."
