Founded, developed, recruited for, planned, and executed every aspect of the 18-20 member Club. I had an idea that began in a dorm room: to teach other students on campus how to cook a variety of food. The food wasn't just planned out; every meal was brainstormed by the members at each weekly meeting and then prepared at the next.

I had an idea that began in a dorm room: to teach other students on campus how to cook a variety of food. The food wasn't just planned out; every meal was brainstormed by the members at each weekly meeting and then prepared at the next. The ideas were fresh and the food was what the members were actually interested in learning to create. Whether each idea was derived from an individual member's family tradition or what they had seen on Pinterest yesterday, I created a common themed menu that featured three or four ideas the members had. Sure, we weren't able to cook everything we thought of but with experimentation comes failure and success. Both which the members were able to learn from. Each dollar contributed to the Club was used for the food and rent of the space we were generously able to use. Finally, a Club where the money contributed was actually used for the ideas members had and those same ideas eaten!By using prior experience with inventory management and cooking techniques, I oversaw members in separate sessions each week. Initially the Club had less than ten members. Due to student demand, I doubled the size during the Club's second semester. With the additional members, I began a member board placed in charge of particular aspects of the Club including the following board members: Outreach Coordinator, Food Experience Coordinator and Recruiting Officers.

I did just about everything from the outside in. Detail-oriented and extremely organized in a kitchen while displaying consistent delivery of all products served.After discovering the restaurant was declining in sales due to customer complaints about the consistency of the food, I decided to take charge and address the issue. I created an entire recipe manual for each dish that included portion sizes and directions for cooking all menu items This was also used to train new employees and ensure consistency between cooks.Developed a technical, yet simple, inventory Microsoft Excel sheet for all restaurant inventories (bar and kitchen).
