  General Manager

  I was in charge of a large site based in the Trafford Centre. Running 2 restaurants both at high volume working with a team of 65 staff both front of house and back of house. I was in charge of all financials including, budgets, P&L, and any offers that were put in place, these food offerings were used when the centre was quiet, especially during the hot summer days and the slow months following Christmas. My team and I improved sales each quarter, this was really important to me as this was my first role away from fast food, gave me more confidence to try out new things, all my team were involved in any new ideas, ways of increasing sales, and taking the customer experience to the next level.

I looked after 27 restaurants around the UK and Ireland, my focus was always about the food, but also about upskilling my back of house teams, also looking at talent within the teams, always conscious of progression and promotion from within, making each kitchen self sufficient. I was also involved with new openings, I would support recruitment, conduct interviews, and take charge of all planning and training prior to, and during the new opening, this could be hard work, but this is when I thrive as I like to get stuck in with the teams, this is when you see good practices, and any extra training needs.
