What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on kitchen role where I can manage operations, train and grow a team, apply baking skills, and maintain high food-safety standards in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

I am a hands-on kitchen manager and cook with strong experience across baking, breakfast service, and full-service restaurant operations.

I lead kitchen prep, inventory control, staff training and hiring, menu and liquor ordering, audits, and minor maintenance. I regularly step into front-of-house roles—serving and bartending—when needed to keep service running smoothly.

I hold Advanced FoodSafe certification and Standard First Aid/CPR, and I prioritize punctual, safety-focused teamwork while delivering consistent, high-quality food and efficient kitchen workflows.
