Work Experience
Assistant Store Leader
Kwik Trip - Baldwin, WI
April 2018 to Present
As an assistant store leader, I provide legendary guest service, write the schedule, problem solve, make sure inventory is correct, make sure pricing is correct, hire new coworkers, train new coworkers, provide support to the store leader and my peers and subordinates, and do a little bit of everything in the store
(ring up guests, stock product on shelves, cook, run food for the kitchen, change garbages). Along with that, I am also a District Safety and Wellness Coordinator so I am responsible for the safety of 4/13 stores in our district. This includes making sure that safety protocols are being followed, proper documentation is happening, and that the proper information is available to everyone in the store to view. Food Service Leader
Kwik Trip - River Falls, WI
November 2017 to April 2018
As a Food Service Leader, I would follow food minimum standards set for the company by corporate, train new kitchen coworkers, responsible for making sure we had an adequate stock of food product and items needed for recipes, followed food safety and sanitation policies (and made sure everyone else did, too), did hourly temps on food products to ensure food quality and safety, clean up after myself and others, organize stock, and I was responsible for doing end of period inventory counts. I also would lead food meetings every period to relay new information, where we were at as a company after reading reports, and get everyone on the same page. In my time as a food service leader, I managed to decrease the store's overall waste percentage and increased the store's overall food sales. Guest Service Leader
