General Manager

Pasquales Pizza Co
Coconut Creek, Florida
07.2014 - 04.2025
  • I started in my sophomore year of high school as a busboy and dishwasher, learning proper procedures to ensure safety and cleanliness.
  • Around six months later, I was promoted to the 'cold station.' My responsibilities included, but were absolutely not limited to, preparing subs and salads for both in-house customers and clients in need of catering portions. As well as being held responsible for preparing all of the 'backups' for not only my station, but also for the entire restaurant to ensure success.
  • After mastering the cold station, I was promoted to the 'slice station,' where my responsibilities included operating a 500-degree oven, preparing various foods such as slices of pizza and other Italian hot dishes. As well as assisting the front personnel with customer orders on the 'POS' system, over the phone, and in person! As well as expediting them accordingly. I also assisted the 'pizza maker' in making sure his oven was maintained and wasn't burning pizzas, as well as making sure he was stocked, enabling him to operate efficiently.
  • Gradually, I taught myself how to make pizzas and took tips and tricks from various pizza makers, including my father, who is the owner. Eventually, I was promoted to 'pizza maker,' where I was not only responsible for the obvious preparation of pizza, but also for other tasks. This included everything from greeting customers walking in the door to grouping customer delivery orders based on address for our drivers. Too, coordinating with our kitchen staff in the back, ensuring all the food, whether a salad or a hot pasta dish, came out together, so everyone sitting at the table got their food at the same time. From checking in Sysco, Roma, and Cheney Brother deliveries, rotating and following safety protocols, to delegating the proper amount of yeast in the day's many batches of dough, or going through the restaurant with the local health inspector, ensuring safe operation and procedures. There were many hours spent on my hands and knees cleaning or bleaching floors or equipment. Always keeping the success of the restaurant in mind, it didn't matter what 'station' or position I was working that day; the goal remained the same. I jumped around all day long assisting the chefs and the counter personnel, both in person and over the phone.
