Summary

Deputy Assistant Manager with 3 years of managerial experience holding extensive knowledge of restaurant management industry operations.

Strong strategic-planning and people-management skills and high-energy manager successful in building and motivating dynamic teams.

I am results-focused deputy offering many years of progressive leadership experience. Taking on challenging new role harnessing interpersonal skills, collaboration and problem-solving. Driven to deliver high-quality service and consistent results.

At the moment I help manage a store that average thousands of pounds a week. Helping manage labour budgets, GP, customer service and overall team management. I find ways to make the business more profitable throughout the financial year, making sure we hit all of our key point indicators but also ensuring we have a happy team constantly growing and also progressing. I am also expected to place stock orders for the business and oversee if the rest of the management team place any. This is to ensure we have the right amount of stock coming in to make us enough money.

I am such a quick leaner and really open minded, I can adapt well to what a business needs and will give everything I have to ensure success in what I am doing.
