Lonnie Stanford
@lonniestanford
I am an experienced warehouse and operations specialist.
What I'm looking for
I operate high-reach forklifts and use RF scanning to maintain inventory accuracy, pick and stage orders, and support shipping and receiving. I take pride in following safety protocols and performing equipment maintenance to keep operations running smoothly.
I have several years of hands-on management experience overseeing restaurant operations, including hiring, labor management, purchasing, vendor relations, and facilities upkeep. I’m comfortable training staff, monitoring costs, and maintaining customer service standards under pressure.
I bring practical machine operation experience, banquet and deli service background, and certifications that include forklift and SIDS. I am organized, customer-focused, and adaptable, seeking to apply my operational and supervisory skills to improve efficiency and team performance.
