What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my culinary skills and management experience in a dynamic environment, fostering team collaboration and delivering exceptional dining experiences.

I am a dedicated and innovative professional chef with a strong background in culinary arts and restaurant management. With a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Abuja, I have honed my skills in crafting exceptional dining experiences while managing kitchen operations effectively. My experience spans over a decade, during which I have successfully led teams, optimized workflows, and ensured compliance with health and safety standards.

In my most recent role as Senior Chef at Africana Home Restaurant & Grilled, I spearheaded daily kitchen operations, implemented innovative menus, and trained kitchen staff to maintain high-quality standards. My efforts in monitoring inventory and controlling food costs resulted in a 15% reduction in waste, showcasing my commitment to efficiency and sustainability in the culinary field.

Previously, I served as Assistant Restaurant Manager at Domino's Pizza, where I played a key role in overseeing daily operations and enhancing customer satisfaction. My strong leadership and organizational skills have consistently driven results in high-pressure environments, making me a valuable asset to any culinary team.
