Work History

Sous Chef

Lady Ann's Restaurant And Tea Room
10.1996 - 05.2023

I oversaw the complete kitchen staff and ran a commercial kitchen in stuart for years. I started as a waitress and worked my way up to second in command as sous chef. I am experienced with coordinating and scheduling staff as well as handling hiring.

I worked on the business end of the restaurant as well with determining inventory and placing orders, as well as dealing with negotiations with purveyors.

I am a team player that knows how to multitask to keep a business flowing. I am well organized and focused on my work and eager to learn new things.

I also handled customer service with sales,conflict and overall customer satisfaction.

I am used to working to meet deadlines and working under high pressure situations to ensure the smoothness in operation and output production.
