F&B OPERATIONS MANAGER ▪ DINING SERVICES DIRECTOR ▪ EXECUTIVE CHEFManagement Professional Who Directs Overall Operations, Staffing & Staff Management, Kitchen Management, Guest Services, Production, Cost Containment, Departmental Maintenance for Food & Beverage Departments.☀ Thank you for visiting my LinkedIn profile. Throughout my career, I have managed front- and back-of-house operations, including staff development and management, financial forecasting/budgeting, P&L analysis/reporting, vendor selection and contract negotiations. My more recent positions are a considerable step back creating less hours/responsibility to allowing more time for family needs and personal growth. Currently seeking to return to a senior management position in a Leadership role should the right opportunity present itself leading to a long-term commitment. Past experience leading and managing Food & Beverage operations in Private Country Clubs and upscale Resort type Retirement Communities and over 100 associates and 8 subordinate Managers. Also, experience overseeing multi unit locations and budgets P&L exceeding $20M., here are a few key points to know about me:First, I have an extensive record of generating bottom-line results; i.e. increases in revenue while cutting costs. For example, I oftentimes cut overhead savings up to 20% by renegotiating vendor contracts, cutting unnecessary staff, properly aligning inventory, and monitoring all budgetary costs. You’d be amazed at what slips through the cracks when no one is watching closely.Second, I’m a subject matter expert relative to how F&B and dining facilities should work efficiently and effectively. For example, I’ve spent countless hours transforming businesses operations, overhauling an unhealthy staff and replacing them with customer-centric employees. I’ve also rehabbed or enhanced menus; properly trained staff on internal procedures; and, developed internal processes and procedures to effectively handle customer issues. Third, I offer a well-rounded background that few others provide and I continuously generate results regardless of my surroundings; e.g. increased customer satisfaction and improved service levels. I'm open to connecting with others within F&B. You can reach me @ (941) 264-7388 or here through LinkedIn. Regards,Robert
