      Vocational Trainer for at risk, adjudicated youth. 2 years ago I got the opportunity to put my for profit restaurant management skills to use helping at-risk, adjudicated youth develop real world vocational skills in a fully functioning coffee shop. I reworked the entire training program, wrote training manuals and mentored the kids through a 3 month program. Recently, due to budget cuts, my position was eliminated, and I have been laid off. During the course of my tenure, sales were increased by over 15%, average ticket rose by 10% and most importantly, many teens have graduated and found meaningful, rewarding work! Show less

      I was the founding director of this program to prepare High School seniors for entry into the work world. I developed a six week curriculum, led classroom instruction, and networked with local businesses to secure employment for 12 kids! After successfully launching the program, I handed it off to my full time replacement. I was the founding director of this program to prepare High School seniors for entry into the work world.

      I was hired for a 3 month project. When I came aboard, the restaurant served only breakfast and lunch and guests were served at the counter. I was tasked with adding dinner service 7 nights a week and I also chose to change the service model from counter to table-side. I worked closely with the culinary staff to write an appealing dinner menu, trained cooks on preparation and plating, and retrained the entire FOH staff on the principles of table service. I conducted an extensive recruiting campaign, interviewing, hiring and training 15 new FOH and BOH team members. I completed all of this in 3 months, on time and at budget. Show less
