SSophia Bello
@ssophiabello
Restaurant Kitchen Manager and guest-focused leader improving service, costs, and team performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a restaurant professional with 10 years of industry experience and multiple levels of management positions, focused on staying energetic, guest-focused, and results-driven in high-volume locations.
As a Kitchen Manager (Buffalo Wild Wings, Sanford & Orlando, 2024–Present), I recruit, train, and develop my team, strengthen communication between front and back of house, and reduce weekly food cost losses by $700.
Earlier roles strengthened my leadership and operational discipline—managing 8–14 table sections, exceeding upselling and sales goals, cross-training across multiple roles, leading inventory counts on high variance items, and training teams on product rotation and temperature control. I also established clear training and operating procedures, managed product quality and cash accountability, and built local community relations to drive sales. I hold a ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certificate (expires 7/22/2029).
