• Food Fanatic - You're crazy about food; the look, the taste, the smell, even the sound it makes when you chop through fresh produce. You take pride in every step of its transformation into a masterful meal.
• Host with the Most – As a manager you know service and hospitality are two totally different things. You make people feel welcome and a part of the family. You know what they need before they need it; you know their names and their kids' names. And guess what, they know you too. They connect with your team and they keep coming back because when they're with you, they're home.
• People Developer - You know you're not a one person army...it takes a strong team to deliver a great product and outstanding service. You show your people how they can be their best. You're not only a manager, you’re a teacher, trainer, mentor and coach.
