@alexmcguinness
Experienced chef-manager with a strong background in kitchen management.
As a dedicated chef-manager with over a decade of experience in the culinary industry, I have honed my skills in kitchen management, staff training, and food preparation. My journey began in the UK, where I developed a passion for cooking and customer service, which I carried with me to Canada. I have worked in various settings, from fine dining to remote camps, always striving to deliver high-quality meals and exceptional service.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed kitchen teams, overseen inventory and food budgets, and implemented training programs that enhance staff performance. My role at ESS-Global-Compass was particularly rewarding, where I was recognized for my exceptional management skills while handling a $20,000 weekly food budget. I am now eager to bring my expertise back to the culinary world and contribute to a dynamic kitchen environment.
