Dear Hiring Team, I hope that you are well and in excellent health. My whole working life has been oriented around the hospitality service industry, during which I have successfully carried out various roles, ranging from Executive Chef to Senior Management Positions. These roles involve high levels of interaction with guests as well as staff. I have extensive knowledge of startup projects within the hospitality service industry. These included - overseeing the build of the family's successful B&B from scratch. Opening two businesses of my own as well as helping to open an upmarket cocktail, cigar and food lounge in Jozi. This included menu design/costing, training and hiring of staff in BOH and FOH. Procurement and set-up of kitchen hardware in order to create fluidity in service. Securing solid relationships with vendors. I pride myself on the training and empowerment of staff, having brought scullers into chef and management positions. My personal conviction is to ensure that every member of the team feels motivated that they are part of creating something special and ultimately something to be extremely proud of. Thus establishing a positive and productive work environment. I have a personal ambition to exceed guests expectations and demands while creating a positive, professional, and unique experience. I pride myself on guest satisfaction, and I have often extinguished mishaps in a quick and efficient manner, having resolved the issue and thus ensuring service recovery. I have managed high-end B&Bs and Lodges and marketed my own and other businesses through social media. I am family-oriented, and I have a deep compassion for the needs of others. I have one dependent, a son of 15 (not currently living with me), and with that (him being my greatest critic), I am well versed in the creation of 'happy snacks'! I am comfortable with online booking systems as well as various POS systems. I have exceptional leadership skills in all departments. I am able to multitask with ease, and I believe that with my friendly professional demeanor and organizational skills, I will be the perfect fit for any position pertaining to my skill set. I am in possession of a valid South African passport and a code EC driver's license. I am based in the Western Cape, South Africa, available with immediate effect and hold myself available for an interview at your convenience. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information. Warm regards, Mark. 0664320906 PS: Resume and Food Portfolio available on request.
