Financial Performance

• Own the P&L: manage food costs, control inventory, verify invoices, and eliminate waste while driving labor efficiency with smart scheduling, cross-training, and station versatility.

• Oversee inventory from the back door to the front line.

Team Building & Development

• Recruit, train, and retain top hourly talent through clear feedback and coaching.
