Summary

I am well acclimated in enhancing customer satisfaction and streamlining kitchen operations, I significantly contributed to Salty’s health inspection scores and sales growth. My expertise in food preparation and dedication to maintaining hygiene standards, alongside my skill in mentoring new hires showcases my ability to elevate team cohesiveness. Performance, and service quality. While I was on shift, there was minimal customer dissatisfaction, the crew was well organized and worked together as a cohesive unit, and the work environment was always kept in pristine condition round-the-clock.

At Dukin’, I was a highly valued crew member and took leadership roles in every single one of my shifts. While I was on shift, I handled every task necessary to keep the store running with utmost efficiency and effectiveness while also keeping the workspace organized, clean, and comprehensive to work in. There was no station or task in the store that I did not know how to do with less than expert understanding, including proper and thorough sanitization and cleaning techniques, advanced POS procedures, accurately handling and counting a draw during the beginning and ends of a shift, and intelligently stocking product.
