  • Responds with a sense of urgency to both customer and employee concerns
  • Communicates and takes immediate ownership of repair and maintenance issues
  • Is certified in food safety - and identifies and coaches in all areas of safe food handling
  • Is continuously scouting for and interviewing candidates to join our team
  • Keeps our company assets secure; including computers, point of sale, security systems and equipment
