Highlights of my experience include…
Receiving continual promotions during my time at Eagle’s Nest Bar & Restaurant due to recognition by upper management of my superior ability to oversee staff, training, and expense management.
Hiring, training, developing, and supervising up to 21 staff members, including servers, bartenders, kitchen hands, and line cooks.
Boosted employee morale through special staff events, team-building activities, and internal policy improvements and adjustments based on personnel feedback.
Developed and introduced new marketing and promotional initiatives, realizing a 12% increase in breakfast and lunch business.
Demonstrating solid time management, communication, and multitasking skills to excel within fast-paced, customer-facing environments.
My skills in team and operational leadership within busy restaurant environments have been proven, and I am confident my additional strengths will readily translate to Buglehorn Grill. The chance to offer more information regarding my experience and qualifications would be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
