I lead a team of 20 people in the BOH. I ensure all BBQ is smoked correctly, write prep list and manage all daily functions of the restaurant. I've helped lower cost of goods by 5.5% since I've started as well as dropped the labor by 1.5%. I write schedules, do 3 truck orders a week and maintain a clean kitchen all while having great vibes in the kitchen.

Leading a Team everyday in the BOH. Managing the daily functions of the heart of the house. Making sure all crew members are performing their task correctly. Training any new hires to cook and plate everything to spec. Making sure orders are going out accurate and in a timely manner. Maintaining good vibes and relationships with the crew and assisting them to get the job done. Making sure all daily paperwork is getting done. Creating and delivering some amazing Family Meals. Being a team player and hopping into any position to make sure the efficiency of the kitchen is always there. Doing all of this all while establishing a clean sanitary work environment and showing others how to work clean.

Helped open this small town restaurant and wrote 40% of the opening menu. Led a team of 15 and ran the kitchen with superior efficiency. With me and another peer running the entire BOH we hit our first Million in sales within the first 8 months in a town with only 8,000 people. Maintaining the daily fuctions of the kitchen. Coming up with new recipes for the menu. Running expo to maintain order accuracy and training new hires. Creating a good kitchen vibe to maintain a good shift every shift.

Always put food quality first and managed millions of dollars of BBQ in my 3 years at Martins. Maintaining daily fuctions of the kitchen and smokers. Writing the BOH schedule. Working with the catering crew to make sure everything is in order for all events. Doing projections for main proteins. Working the smokers to make sure all bbq is delicious.
