check the sanitary of the kitchen. Made sure all fridge and freezer
temperatures were right. Ordered and quality checked all food. Recruited
new employees, trained all back of the house employees. Went to San Antonio
to purchase all kitchen equipment with the owners money and then went back
to the restaurant and organized the whole kitchen by myself. He was paying
me $475.00 for 72 hours a week. I went in on grand opening day 20 minutes
late because i did not get much sleep. I was up creating prep lists for all
