Restaurant Operations & Team Leadership | BBQ Pit, Kitchen Production & Customer Service
I bring hands-on experience in restaurant operations, kitchen production, and team leadership across front- and back-of-house roles. I can support daily service, train employees, manage kitchen and barbecue pit operations, and maintain food quality and sanitation standards. My cooking experience includes meat trimming, preparation and smoking, saute station service, and deli order fulfillment. I've progressed from front-of-house service into assistant management, overseeing kitchen execution and helping teams meet staffing and production needs. I also bring four years of hazardous-materials supervision at a high-volume airport shipping hub, where I coordinated package and safety issues and helped build a knowledgeable response team. I focus on dependable service, clear teamwork, and consistent execution in fast-paced environments.
