About Robert Preusser

I am a ServSafe certified food and beverage professional with over 16 years experience in the field. I have operated stand alone restaurants, high-volume celebrity chef restaurants, multiple QSR locations, and departments with multiple outlets in a large property setting. I have extensive Profit & Loss knowledge, as well as budget creations, with a high focus on sales building and cost controllables. My experience includes food and beverage menu creations with a high emphasis on current trends. Positive team morale, company culture, management development, and reduced turnover are high focuses within my positions. I’m very hands on and I believe that leadership is more earned than given. My drive exceeds only my grasp.\"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.\"
