Starting my position, I cooked meals following the food safety standards while maintaining proper kitchen hygiene. I learned how to prepare all of the ingredients, exceeding standards, that was needed daily and cooked meals in a timely manner. Soon I was able to provide guidance and train new cooks to ensure they learned proper food handling standards which lead to earning my Expert title. I maintained a clean working environment and served properly made food while keeping a positive and informative performance.

I processed shipping and receiving of materials along with inventory management. Preparing orders for deliveries was always done in a timely manner and maintaining proper stock for customer use. I operated a forklift for loading/unloading trucks and preparing the use of materials. I also operated different equipment such as a die press, band saw and a roll line.

I prepared meals according to recipes and the menu, adjusted ingredients and cooking times accordingly. Checking the quality of ingredients before use in order to ensure freshness was always managed along with adhering to food safety standards when preparing and storing food. I also monitored stock levels of food items and restocked when necessary. Lastly, I maintained a clean working environment by sweeping, mopping floors, washing surfaces, emptying trash cans, cleaning kitchen equipment, utensils and dishes.

Starting my position, I maintained a clean working environment, prepared meals according to the menu, restocked when necessary, checked the quality of ingredients before use, ensured food was stored correctly, and overall adhered to food safety standards when preparing. Once I became a manager, I would handle and maintain money for the company and provide training and guidance to junior cooks on proper preparation techniques and methods.
