What I'm looking for

I'm moving into remote work in operations coordination, administration or customer support. I have a reliable home office with fibre internet and backup power, and good overlap with UK and European business hours.

At Modern Italian Kitchen (M.I.K) / Italio, I led a team of 30+ staff, including 3 junior managers, across front-of-house and operations. I built weekly schedules to match demand while keeping within the labour budget.

I trained and coached staff, maintained payroll documentation and administrative reports, and handled supplier orders and inventory tracking. I also introduced standard operating procedures that improved team efficiency and consistency.

Earlier, as Manager at Tony's Fully Furnished Pizza Co, I managed inventory records, stock audits and payroll, and served as the main escalation point for problems and conflicts. I'm now moving into remote work in operations coordination, administration or customer support.
