I've been in the Los Angeles food service industry for over 20 years. I've enjoyed my time creating dishes and managing kitchen and service teams. Now I want to help you succeed. Thriving in the world of food and serving the public is a balancing act. Labor codes, health codes, OSHA, training programs, when do you get to create tasty food? Throw in the pandemic and, yikes. That's where I come in. I'm the weird kitchen nerd who also loves diving into OSHA regulations, standardizing recipes, and other tasks that keep you tied to a desk. I'll take care of updating your yield percentages, first aid safety procedures, and implementing new health code regulations into your training materials. Opening a new restaurant and need training materials? I can help you build manuals that your team will actually use. Because you're busy, here's a quick list of my qualifications: -Experience in various food service styles: fine dining, upscale casual, quick-service -Recipes published in several cookbooks and other periodicals -Kitchen and front of house management -Certified Food Protection Manager -Built OSHA mandated Injury and Illness Programs, including COVID Protection -Manual copywriting and proofreading including safety, team building, service, operations, labor management -Recipe standardization -Copywriting menu descriptions, newsletters, website copy -Recipe/inventory/nutritional information platforms (Meez, Craftable, ChefTec) My priorities for my clients: -Quick turnaround without compromising quality. -Open communication, based on your needs. -Positive response to feedback: this is your project. -A respectful and fruitful working relationship. I've been an asset for other successful food service entrepreneurs, let's discuss how I can help your project come to fruition.
