Sales Company

To Whom this may concern:

My name is Antonio Salorio, and I have been in the culinary business for over

forty years. Cooking has been in my family for many generations. My grandmother was a

salad chef and my father was head of a catering company. I have learned this craft from

both of them.

When I went into the service I became a store keeper and learned inventory as

well as keeping supplies at a certain level. I have also been a realtor and I’ve learned

about financing, keeping budgets and figures.

Once I got out of the service, I worked with my father and then went out on my

own, opening up various different businesses along with different cuisines. I’ve owned

Italian, Spanish, and America Restaurants. I’ve also owned catering companies. One of

my companies had ten catering trucks with menus that were very diversified when it

came to different ethnicities. I ran my trucks as they were an army. We had two-way

radio’s so that if any one of my trucks broke down, one of the other trucks could cover

their stops. All my trucks on any given day, would have the same menu along with the

specials that I made for that specific day. I started my catering trucks with myself and one

cook and after I became very popular. I had to train other cooks, so that I could start a

more acute route. This is how I always knew that on any given day, any of my trucks

would have the same menu, and be known for these tasty cuisines.

Of course I had to maintain a budget and keep cost/accounting records down. So

that my food production and cost control stayed within reason. Maintaining ten trucks as

well as having the same quality of food and preparing them the same, always kept me

ahead of the game. Coordinating the schedules for all these trucks and having the meals

prepared on schedule with the break times of each company were essential to keeping my

routes popular.

Maintaining my trucks and all the equipment on the trucks was absolutely

essential to keeping the business going smoothly. I would have safety classes once a

month, and every other week I would have cooking classes for all my cooks and drivers.
