Manager Supervisor

James Idakula

Summary

I have worked and done well in the food service industry for over 7 years. Although I started with a dishwasher position, I have been forced to develop my food preparation and culinary skills. I have worked as a pizza/sandwich maker, breakfast and lunch cook, prep cook and packaged food production associate throughout these years. These have given me the confidence needed to do well in almost any culinary/food preparation field.

Highlights

Excellent pizza and sandwich maker.

Experience

Sandwich Maker/Prep Cook August 2010 to June 2013 Breaux Mart - New Orleans, Lousiana I was hired shortly after returning from Little Rock, Arkansas as a deli clerk and closer. I was unable to secure a position at a New Orleans Whole Foods as fast as I wanted to. After a month, I was promoted to prep cook and sandwich maker.

During the transition when Wild Oats was bought by Whole Foods, I was made a shift supervisor. Although it was just a transient position, (there are only Team Leaders and Assistant Team Leaders at Whole Foods) someone was needed to be responsible as that time was a little chaotic.
