Yannick Barros
@yannickbarros
Culinary professional skilled in line prep, food safety, and efficient kitchen service.
What I'm looking for
I’m a culinary professional with hands-on kitchen experience as a Line Cook/Prep Cook, focused on fast, accurate food preparation and station cleanliness. I bring a strong work ethic—ensuring my station is clean, well-stocked, and ready to keep service moving.
Over the past few years, I’ve cooked and prepped a wide range of items (breakfast foods, sandwiches, appetizers, sautéed and fried dishes), plated meals, and supported busy event environments. I’m also trained in food safety practices, including Sanitizing surfaces, proper food storage, cross-contamination prevention, and maintaining food date marking.
Beyond the kitchen, I’ve built reliability through roles like Amazon Delivery Driver and Warehouse Associate (Receiving), where punctuality and organization mattered every day. I also work as an Interpreter/LanguageLine Solutions, interpreting English and Cape Verdean Criolo/Portuguese, and I’m comfortable communicating with customers clearly to keep outcomes smooth and professional.
