Summary

Dynamic Shift Manager at Italian Gardens Restaurant with expertise in employee training and inventory management. Proven ability to enhance team performance and customer satisfaction through effective decision-making and problem-solving. Skilled in negotiating with suppliers to reduce costs, ensuring operational efficiency while maintaining high safety and quality standards. As a manager I go where I am needed, whether that be front counter helping customers, gathering orders, ringing customers, cash handling, answering phones, and working with both customers and employees.

I often wait tables because servers are hard to come by lately. I take orders prepare plates, ring customers, deliver their food, make sure customers get great fast efficient service while maintaining quality control.

Some days I am the bartender, making and serving all cocktails, beer, wine, etc.

Other days I am in the kitchen helping prep and make all the food.

Although I am the manager and I open and close the restaurant, take care of the deposits and make sure the restaurant operates effectively each day, I also have to fill the positions we need most at any given time. Somedays I am maintenance, fixing registers, printers, computers, whatever is not working properly. If I don't know how to fix something I will watch a video or take a course to learn how to best accomplish the task at hand.
