Matthew Lewis
@matthewlewis1
I’m a deli chef lead focused on fast, flawless food execution.
What I'm looking for
I lead deli back-of-house operations with a genuine passion for food and a commitment to consistent recipe execution and exceptional plate presentation. In high-volume service, I plated 200–350 covers during 7-hour windows while keeping a remake rate under 1%.
I direct 2–4 employees during peak seasonal periods, coordinating tasks to ensure food safety, quality, cleanliness, and on-time completion (93% or greater). I uphold rigorous food safety and sanitation procedures, helping the team achieve 95% and 97% health inspection scores.
I manage daily temperature checks, corrected unsafe storage conditions, and maintain FDA-compliant food rotation and storage practices. I also handle inventory pulls and stocking, complete cook station setup, and trained staff on cleaning and closing procedures—improving efficiency and reducing labor costs by 33%–50%.
