• Pride in maintaining a clean, organized kitchen and managing food costs, inventory, and production in a timely manner.
• Confident, calm under pressure, and enjoy leading by example, helping to elevate the team’s performance.
• Team-oriented and enjoy working closely with others to solve challenges and achieve collective goals.
