DENISE SMITH
Professional Summary
Throughout my 30+ years in management I have always used empathy as much as possible with my staff and especially my guests in all my establishments. It has helped me to be the kind of manager that respects their staff and always wants to impress their patrons.
An upfront type of manager that works shoulder to shoulder with my staff, that is how I get to know my customers and their expectations. I am a firm believer in promoting from within and have helped to develop many staff members from the ranks of crew to management positions. Very dependable and I adapt to company changes and make sure the staff is aware and why it is important.
