Work History
Line Cook
Entropy Brewing Company
Miamisburg, Ohio
06.2024 - Current
- At Entropy I was in the first starting crew. At Entropy I got to use my experience to help create a foundation for the kitchen. I also was able to collaborate to help make things more efficient in the kitchen. While at Entropy I learned how to adapt to a line cook position, learning how to make all menu items, limited items and customizations customers made to their orders. Overall, at Entropy, I enjoyed being a part of the atmosphere and having a place to really use my skills to make a difference.

With this position, I had to follow protocols closely to cook and handle food safely. I also had to help ensure that the quality of the food was up to standard. I learned how to count critical inventory, and I learned about prepping. I also was learning how to accompany service managers when they need assistance with certain tasks.
