Work History

Lead Chef

George’s Family Restaurant
08.2025 - Current
  • I work alongside two other lead chefs and supervise four line cooks. I prepare high quality, from scratch dishes ranging from breakfast to dinner. I also take inventory for the day as well and set an order for the morning to stock on items the kitchen needs. I also ensure the kitchen is safe and clean set above the legal standards of sanitation to ensure food is safe for everyone and all cooks are safe in the kitchen.

Kitchen Manager

  • As a kitchen manager, I prepared a variety of dishes on several stations. As well as cleaned and maintained the kitchen, took inventory, put orders in for products, delivered food to customers, and closed and opened the kitchen. I also handled bank (over $500) and shift changes among employees.
