I have been in the industry for 10+ years and thoroughly enjoy working with food on a daily basis. I have strong skills in managing a team and ensuring high standards are maintained at all times including proper food safety measures are taken. I have opened several restaurants as a Sous Chef which means I had responsibilities to create new menu items and do costing on them ensure the correct GP’s are maintained at all times. I was also responsible for pay roll, training kitchen staff, weekly and monthly stock takes, monthly variants, coordinating with FOH managers and dealing with customer complaints. I have also executed catering for large and small functions at the InterContinental and Southern Sun Hotel groups in Sandton as well as managing functions and catering while working in Germany.
