Business Operations Representative at Toast, Inc.
I am a former Chef who was in the industry for twelve years and has experience cooking in a variety of restaurant styles and types of food and have experience in most positions in the kitchen. I have a reputation for working well with everyone and I enjoy training others. For the past 5 years I have been in management roles within the kitchen and have experience managing teams from 5 to 15 team members.  I am looking to get out the the grind of traditional restaurant hours, while utilizing my talents. As a Chef I have excelled at intense and quick problem solving and working at a fast, yet hyper organized pace. I have a drive to learn that is only matched by my motivation to reach perfection in every aspect of my work. Food requires balance, ingenuity, whimsy and tradition to be exceptional. These are the same traits I apply in everything I do.
