Description
I truly enjoy the food and beverage profession and am soundly competent to handle any industry related challenges that develop. I have a strong sense of situational awareness that make me exceptional at building and maintaining relationships with the community, my staff, and the brand I represent. Also, I take ownership of guest concerns and arbitrate them fairly and competently while protecting the interests of my business.
