To Whom It May Concern:
After the past ** months in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina I have decided to return to Wisconsin. I would like to keep a closer relationship with both our families and my wife would like to finish her Journalism degree at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. I am looking to continue my career growing into larger roles and responsibilities.
I can offer:
-Over eight years of restaurant management experience
-Ability to effectively hire, train, and manage staff
-Inventory, scheduling, controlled operating profit management
-Understanding of P&L statements and how to positively affect it.
In addition to my extensive experience, I have superior intuition in the field. I always maintain a collected and professional demeanor when handling customers and staff members. My straightforward attitude allows me to effectively lead and train an exceptional staff.
Thank you for your consideration.
