Javiah Prince
@javiahprince
I am a culinary leader specializing in seafood and kitchen operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a sous chef and culinary professional with extensive hands-on experience creating original menus, developing recipes, and leading kitchen teams. I focus on practical, repeatable systems that keep service moving and quality consistent.
Throughout my career I have led day and night shifts, managed ordering and inventory, and organized stations for peak service. I regularly prepare grab-and-go offerings and plan weekend and weekday specials to drive sales.
I take pride in mentoring staff, cross-training teams on every station, and managing back-of-house operations including ordering, counts, and kitchen organization. I have experience handling and presenting fresh seafood and preparing pre-made meals for retail and service environments.
I am seeking opportunities that allow me to continue developing menus, lead capable teams, and contribute to a collaborative, fast-paced kitchen. I am open to relocation and bring relevant certifications and an Associate in Culinary Arts to every role.
