As AGM I oversaw a staff of 15-20 team members and key roles from both BOH and FOH daily. In addition, I scheduled both FOH and BOH while following NYC laboring laws. I kept up with the ideal family tree by providing coaching to team members in order for them to be groomed into leadership roles. I would complete the daily order for the store, ordering supplies for both the kitchen and FOH.
