- Financial & Administrative Integrity: Oversee cash handling, payroll processing, bookkeeping, budgeting, and labor/food cost controls with absolute accuracy.
- Tech & Inventory Mastery: Utilize POS systems and inventory software for real-time sales tracking, pricing adjustments, data-driven ordering, and waste reduction.
