I have over two years of experience in food preparation and service, primarily in healthcare settings. I am proficient in following dietary restrictions and preparing meals that meet specific nutritional requirements. My experience includes working with large groups, ensuring food safety standards are met, and maintaining a clean and organized kitchen environment.

I thrive in fast-paced environments. My approach involves prioritizing tasks, staying organized, and communicating effectively with my team. I ensure that I am always prepared for peak times by anticipating needs and staying ahead of the workflow. This helps me maintain efficiency and deliver high-quality service even during the busiest times.

I adhere strictly to food safety protocols, including proper handwashing, using gloves, and maintaining clean work surfaces. I regularly check expiration dates on ingredients and store food at the correct temperatures. Additionally, I ensure that all kitchen staff are trained in food safety practices and that we follow local health department guidelines.

I am well-versed in accommodating various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, vegan, and diabetic diets. I carefully review meal orders and consult with dietitians or healthcare providers when necessary. My approach ensures that all special meal requests are met accurately and with attention to nutritional needs.

In a previous role, I encountered a situation where a coworker was not following proper food handling procedures. I addressed the issue directly and calmly, explaining the importance of adherence to safety standards. We worked together to find a solution, which included additional training and regular check-ins to ensure compliance moving forward.
