Rocket Farm Restaurants - Developmental Chef
Atlanta, GA, 07/2010 - 07/2012
Salary: 50,000 I place orders and direct all work involved in the day-to-day kitchen operations. This includes food and beverages, as well as any supply goods needed in the facility. I assist in the formulation of the yearly budgets. I have been trained in the basics of human resources, ethics, fair hiring and firing, and have had the opportunity to apply these principles. I assist in implementing departmental changes throughout my facility. I prepare the daily production list, which is a document that records what needs to be prepared and how much of each item needs to be prepared. I make this list on a weekly basis, and it allows me to accurately order and schedule the appropriate staff. I oversee the operations of the kitchen and food production, which includes supervising the day-to-day activities of 10 employees. Each employee reports directly to me and meets with me each day to receive guidance. I ensure that each employee performs their duties in accordance with all guidance, regulations, and procedures. I ensure that food costs remain under our projected food cost percentage by closely monitoring how food is prepared and censoring waste over production. Closely reviewing menus to streamline products and to reduce on-hand inventory is a method used to reduce product costs and increase profit margins. I regularly review processes as a means to maintain labor costs, to eventually reduce those costs, and to streamline the processes as much as possible. By simply adjusting my staff's workload, and giving each person tasks that are similar instead of dividing jobs, I am able to obtain better production in less than two hours per day. Cycle Menus are rotating menus that cycle through over a period of time. I have been able to provide the customer with a variety of food items and reduce costs through bulk and consistent ordering of products by having set menus that rotate over a six-week cycle. I have increased food quality by standardizing menus for the cooks to follow and master. A portion of my experience as a Developmental Chef included training for three months at the Hale Koa Hotel in Honolulu Hawaii, and three months at the Dragon Hill Lodge in Seoul, Korea. I learned the art of fruit carving, as well as other cold food preparation skills. I participated in the culinary preparation of traditional Hawaiian and Korean dishes. I worked alongside Sous Chefs to prepare and prep sheet banquet orders, and I created production and cost sheets. I worked with chefs and accounts to acquire techniques in loss prevention. I supervised large functions with over 300 people in attendance. I also worked inside the purchasing department to learn how food is ordered.
Restaurant Associates - Sous Chef
City, STATE, 03/2009 - 07/2010
Salary: $16.50 per hour I prepped and maintained all vegetarian cuisine, as well as oversaw several other stations within the kitchen. I supervised the TrimTrax® Program, which was part of the Restaurant Associates' GO GREEN movement. This program involved collecting and recording all waste, including food, paper, plastic and cardboard. I reviewed the waste, and was able to adjust many of the processes to become more efficient and waste fewer products, which in turn, saved on labor and food cost. The food waste was collected, reutilized, and turned into compost. I engineered and developed five-week cycle menus. I set food production pars and ensured that they were met and followed each day. I made sure that there was no over production or under production of food, and if there was, we documented the cause to ensure that there were no repeat incidents. I developed menus based upon the day-to-day product availability. I ensured that the cooler and the freezer were clean and maintained in accordance with all relevant guidance, policies and procedures.
