Experianced Cook ready to work (Enumclaw - Kent)

My qualifications you will find are substantial and I bring with me over 20 years of restaurant wisdom.

From my humble start as a burger flipper; to owning my own Fine Dining establishment, I have gathered a toolbox bursting with everything to build success.

I have worked for the biggest corporations and the smallest of dining houses. With the exception of HR director or District Manager, there is not a position in the Restaurant/ Hotel industry that I don't have at least five years experience.

Of all of my qualifications; my strengths in the kitchen are worth their weight in gold.

Menu development: I have created many dozens of menus and recipes, some of which are still in use to this day.

Cost control: No matter what your annual averages are, I can better it! I know where kitchens lose money and how to stop it. Give me a budget and I'll beat it, offer me a bonus, and I will astound you.

Production: After a two week period of fine tuning the flow of the line and implementing any necessary training, ticket times will improve by at least 15%. I can assure you I am amongst the fastest in the business!

Purchasing: Purveyors may not like me, but they respect me. I hold them accountable to earn their commission.

I know who and where to shop according to the needs of the season, and how to bring in the best price. I personally oversee all deliveries.

In short, I am well qualified for your consideration.

I am easy going; great sense of humor, thrive under pressure but remain calm and collected at all times. I am a natural leader and a consummate teacher.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward hearing back from you.

Sincerely Michael Ryan Lee
