Through careful analysis, I identified areas for improvement within manufacturing processes, resulting in significant cost reductions. Furthermore, I ensured that staff members were informed of updates to internal policies and procedures to maintain compliance and standardization.

I received comprehensive training in cash handling, stock management, and ordering, and assumed responsibility for opening and closing the establishment as the sole duty manager on-site. This role afforded me the opportunity to mentor, train, and motivate staff in their development.

In addition, I acquired practical kitchen experience and developed a thorough understanding of food safety and hygiene regulations. My interactions with the general public enriched my hospitality expertise, equipping me to address diverse situations with professionalism while providing essential support and guidance to my team.
