Describe what you do in a nutshell.
I manage a group of individuals responsible for high standards of service and excellence in the culinary field. I want to make sure our residents and guests receive the best service and food possible in a friendly and professional atmosphere. Using the feedback from the residents, industry trends, and engaged culinary staff, I incorporate new menu items to increase the usage of our dining services and hire people that have similar goals, so we can reach them together to the benefit of the residents.

When I get feedback directly from the residents about service and the food and they are highly satisfied, I know my team has done a good job.
