This was when I was working for the owner of san luis bbq co when it first was just a hole in the wall. I didnt work there long. I was tasked with opening the store with him.and basically making sure everything was clean and ready to go for the day.

Supervised small crew at the age of 14 years old. Ran the front lobby and back. Deligated what needed to be done to ensure a smooth stress free work environment for morning lunch and evening shifts. This was my first job. I worked at Taco bell while in highschool.
