Justin Brown
@justinbrown2
I lead customer-facing operations, safety, sales, and team training across retail, food service, and entertainment.
What I'm looking for
I've managed customer experiences at Smash Room Iowa and Hop-a-lot Iowa, preparing spaces, supporting bookings, enforcing safety procedures, and handling opening and closing duties. At Boost Mobile, I address customer inquiries, troubleshoot device issues, provide technical support, and promote mobile products and plans.
My background also includes shift leadership at Taco Bell, where I supervised front- and back-of-house teams, trained staff, monitored shifts, and ensured timely service. I bring construction pre-apprenticeship experience, OSHA 10 and flagger certifications, strong customer service, time management, and a hands-on approach to solving problems.
