Summary
The restaurant industry is special. I have loved every second across my 10+ years working in it.
Seeing Village Burger Bar for the first time was unforgettable. The feeling of watching the bartenders successfully navigate a dinner rush was something I wanted to be apart of immediately. I waited patiently for 3 years before a spot came available. That as over 7 years ago now. When the restaurant was closed during covid I gladly came in to get on my hands and knees to scrub the floor, baseboards, and basically every square inch. I've been prepared and trained to take on more responsibility than my store can provide alone. With the CEO position available I want the opportunity to take all my love and talent from VBB and scale it up to make every employee and customer feel how I felt that very first time
