𝟭𝟴+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 & 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. 𝗧𝗼𝗽-𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. I work fluently in English, Arabic, French, and Italian, with clients ranging from single-location independent restaurants to multi-property hotel groups. Project experience spans Lebanon, Italy, the GCC (including Dubai and Saudi Arabia), Canada, the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, and Australia — including cloud kitchen / delivery-only concept launches in the UK and Dubai. Currently Operations Manager for a 3-property hotel group in Italy (500+ rooms) — F&B is one department under my operational scope, alongside housekeeping, maintenance, and front-of-house. I'm equipped to run large, multi-departmental operations, not just a single kitchen or floor. I've also run operations at the ground level — as a Branch Manager and Multi-Unit Manager in full-service restaurants, and as COO scaling a fast-food chain from concept to 5 branches and a central kitchen. Floor-level fixes and boardroom-level strategy are both home turf. 𝗜𝗳 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗜 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 — 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱.
