Jul 2008 - Jan 2014
Rullo's menu included hand tossed pizza, subs and sandwiches, salads, and selected entrées for lunch and dinner. "Take & Bake" pizzas and entrées were a key part of the concept. My initial responsibilities included working with the Architect, General Contractor and Owners in the concept design, menu planning and site build out. As General Manager, my primary focus was building a broad customer base by providing a customer friendly environment, excellent food quality, presentation and expedience in food prep. The initial concept was expanded to include a bakery providing fresh baked breads and pastries, delivery service and catering. Show less
