PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Highly proactive manager with 12 years of experience in team leadership in the service industry. Background includes sales, management and customer service in fast-paced settings. Adaptable and enterprising general manager with solid industry background and proven expertise in building and leading successful teams. Talented problem-solver ready to back up fellow employees at any time. I came to XIT Woodfire Grill two years after it's open to work for owners who had not been in the restaurant business before. I created and implemented a system that helped decrease labor and food cost and created a system to monitor these numbers at all times. I switched our point of sale system and personally built the menu and items to fit the needs of the restaurant. I am responsible for all hiring, training, scheduling, ordering, receiving, events, etc. Our sales numbers held steady through the Covid pandemic, and have continued to rise every year. We incurred a second restaurant that I help oversee with the hiring of floor managers and is also showing growth every single year.
Profit margins for the steakhouse were over 14% for the last year and for the grill that we bought, over 18%. I would love the opportunity to have an interview to go over the details of what I feel like I can bring to your team.
