Accomplishments
Red robin had an issue in the Cypress location so I was sent to Cypress Red Robin to get the restaurant
back to where it needed to because everything was high labor, food cost, inventory, ticket time and the
quality of the food wasn’t their and while I was their I made sure that cooks were following recipes,
orders were correct, inventory was done correctly causing food cost to go down and making sure ticket
times didn’t pass 12 min. And after cypress been on we’re they want to be I been send to lakewood to
open a new location and they decided to make that location my home restaurant and after we kept
everything under control I been traveling on different city’s and different states to making openings and
helping on any other location.
Skills used
Most of the skills that I used were communication and teaching because the cooks weren’t being taught
correctly in the cypress location so they had to be retaught and recipes explained. The location that I
was originally at everyone knew because I showed them since the beginning and explain that it was
always has to done correctly.
