What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced kitchen where I can lead the deli line, execute standardized recipes, maintain top food-safety standards, and deliver consistent guest experiences through speed, teamwork, and strong food handling.

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%.
