Objective and Skills

I seek a position as food and beverage manager. I have over 32 years of experience in

restaurant work. I am well versed in both front and back of house skills, but my strong points are

in the kitchen. I have a working knowledge of the different forms of cooking, roasting, frying,

grilling, broiling, poaching, etc, as well as the 5 "mother" sauces. I am self motivated and can

motivate others easily. Time management is a very important tool for me. I am strong in food

cost control and inventory, as well as purchasing and receiving. Although planning and catering

large parties is my favorite, I would like to gain employment so I can use my skills to better myself

and this company.
