Accomplishments

As the General Manager of a successful buffet restaurant, I have been the proud recipient of many incentive driven awards. Among them I have received company cars by exceeding profit expectations for 6 years. For that six years I also had "Founder's Club" status and attended company functions in Jamaica, Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, The Bahamas and twice to Hawaii by being among the top performing managers. During those functions I was most proud of receiving awards for best improvements year to year in food cost, profitability and sales.
