Prefer Multi Unit District Manager Restaurant Operations, and/or any level above District Manager
I would like to be a part of building sales and profitability for some national entity in the restaurant industry. I can promise month over month increases in sales, profit, and overall implementation of concept policies and procedures. I need no training, simply an introduction to the business and proposed objectives. My preference would be to utilize my people skills and my abilities to accomplish all objectives associated with multi-unit oversight. I’m accustomed to working in a very structured environment, my past experiences in the restaurant management always equated to double digit sales increase within 90 days in all operations. Additionally, during this same time period, other typical changes/improvements included dramatic improvements in operational standards in all areas, always equating to dramatic sales increases, greater cost controls, and overall profitability. I have set sales records in multiple locations, records equating to 25% to 100% increases in sales within 90 days. Creating huge sales increases and overall positive business trends have always been easy and attainable objectives.
I have a good understanding of all stages related to business development, research associated to location, site development, construction, hiring and training of all personnel, implementation of associated policies and procedures, and overall general management of any type of business.
My philosophy, my belief related to my decades of business experience causes me to recognize that success in all businesses, all levels of management, all related objectives, is linked to leaderships ability to motivate subordinates in a positive and respectful manner. Never lowering expectations or giving in to challenges at all levels of management. In general, successful businesses are linked to well-trained employees at all levels, sound product knowledge, and, management holding all direct reports accountable.
I welcome the opportunity to sit and discuss the possibility of employment with your company. If you’re interested in a sound decision maker, one who will implement your desired objectives and take full responsibility for all planned goals, then I am the one that you can trust to execute all tasks at hand. Take advantage of my life experiences in business, my experiences in shortfalls, and my experiences in accomplishments.
