Following a sharp ascent from Server to Managing Partner with Chili’s Bar & Grill, my introduction to multi-unit leadership arose in 2019 when I was recruited by best-in-class QSR, sweetgreen. The opportunity surfaced when my former Market Director at Chili’s transitioned to sweetgreen and was seeking to onboard a new Area Leader ahead of anticipated pre-COVID NYC expansion. Excited at the prospect of multi-unit management and a chance to expand my horizons beyond the Long Island market, I jumped at the opportunity to manage 6 incredibly high-volume Manhattan units.As a restaurant lifer who has ascended the ranks, my passion for the industry runs deep. Not only do I love working around food, but I relish working in an industry where staff can make a tangible impact each and every day as we engage and interact with people; both our internal guests (employees) and external guests (customers). I am a strategic hospitality leader with a proven record of delivering high-impact management expertise to both established and rapidly expanding concepts. With a talent for turning around underperforming operations and creating strong foundations for continued growth, I am positioned to build winning teams, create positive cultures, and take the initiative on all expansion, operational, customer experience, and talent development initiatives.Areas of expertise include: Multi-Unit Management, Talent Development, Operations, Financial Management, Market Expansion, Performance Management, Culture Development, P&L Management, Cost Control, Management Training Programs, Standard Operating Procedures, Cross-Functional Collaboration, Inventory Management, New Restaurant Openings, Food Safety & Sanitation, Community Relations, Compliance, ServSafe Certified, ServSafe Proctor CertifiedTechnical Skills: MenuLink, Aloha, CrunchTime, NetChef, Oracle MICROS, HotSchedules, Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides)
