Kevin G.
Chef Consultant/Creative Writer/Recipe Development/Photographer
I am a hardworking professional who has been consistently praised by my coworkers and employees. Over the course of my 25 year career as an Executive Chef I have developed a specific skill set directly correlating to recipe construction and menu development. I have also been involved in many cooking demos and worked as an instructor for several cooking classes. Additionally, during my last position, I was in charge of running a well known local venue. Not only was I the Executive Chef, but also the General manager and production manager. Day-to-day responsibilities of running the business included many tasks. Bookkeeping, Marketing, Talent Outsourcing and Production Management was the majority of my responsibility. The Crown Uptown Theater was a dying business (from my predecessor) with a deficit of $4.7 million over a 3 1/2 year spread with an average loss of $150,000 in overhead costs and $300,000 in expenses every month. From the beginning, I managed to turn a $15,000 profit (after expenses and overhead) each month. I worked 110 hours a week and sacrificed everything until after 2 years I refused to continue due to insufficient time with my wife and kids and extremely low compensation. Shortly after I left, the business (Crown Uptown Theatre) was sold and is now in the final stages of restructuring. I not only learned but succeeded in completing any and every task that was thrown at me whether I was experienced or not. This occupation was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and I did not fail. I believe that there is nothing that I am not capable of accomplishing. For the past three years I have been working on the Upwork platform for many different clients. I have completed many jobs successfully such as restaurant consultant, recipe developer, culinary instructor, macro-nutrient meal planner, ghostwriter and published writer. I have a very wide skill set and am willing to always try new projects. I hope that I am the type of competent and competitive candidate you are looking for. I look forward to elaborating on how my skills and abilities will benefit you. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
