Entrusted with the journey of developing extraordinary Store Managers, creating great guest experiences, impacting growth. I supervised development of diverse teams that know their markets, communities, and guests. Creating a great place to eat, work, and learn was a priority. I was responsible for creating a great culture that reflects the company values, with a people first mindset. I was responsible for recruiting, hiring, and serving as a resource for all Restaurant Managers, and was responsible for increasing sales and profits through financial management, coaching, as well as providing leadership direction to all General Managers. Another priority, along with tracking each location remotely, conducting GM conference calls, and reviewing goals with each location, making visits to each location. Locations that were not performing as well required more attention, but also could not neglect the successful locations, to ensure they did not start to suffer from “Success Syndrome”
