  • Coach and motivate team members to achieve sales targets through suggestive selling and introduction of new menu items.
  • Manage personnel issues, including scheduling conflicts or performance gaps, while fostering a collaborative and positive work environment.
  • Review operational reports such as profit-and-loss statements to identify areas for improvement in sales performance and cost control.
