AHMED ABDI
@ahmedabdi1
I improve HR systems, workforce operations, and financial controls across service-focused organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've led HR, operations, and financial controls across restaurants, healthcare, youth development, and digital recruitment. Most recently at Majlis Restaurant, I managed daily operations for approximately 29–30 employees across kitchen, barista, service, inventory, purchasing, and staff coordination.
I strengthened inventory, portion-control, staff-meal, and order-management procedures at Majlis, while producing management reports on sales, costs, risks, and profitability. In my first 23 days of August, sales reached approximately $15,000, compared with approximately $16,000 for the entire previous month.
Previously, I managed HR for Waffle Inn and Meat-O-Max Restaurants, reducing turnover by 25% and payroll errors and administrative time by 30%. I've also supported HR operations at Clinix Healthcare Group and KYDI, and expanded Flowmingo's recruitment-platform outreach across East Africa and the Middle East.
