WORK HISTORY
Culinary Director @Indian Springs Calistoga
Calistoga, CA, US
With 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I had the opportunity to work with some of the best chefs in Napa Valley, always in love with local products and resources, excited to work with people to make the experience of our guests memorable. I love to read and always open to learn from others, I considered myself a beginner on leadership, but like John C. Maxwell said:\"Leadership is not about being the best. It is about making others better.\" knowing that there is no greater responsibility than influencing others\' lives.Some of my duties:Develop and implement menu items that align with the brand’s culinary direction, ensuring a balance between innovation, cost-effectiveness, and customer satisfaction.Oversee the hiring, training, and management of kitchen staff, establishing high standards of food quality, hygiene, and safety.Coordinate with suppliers to source high-quality ingredients, negotiating contracts to achieve the best possible prices while maintaining the integrity of the dishes.Collaborate with the marketing team to promote the restaurant’s offerings, participating in events and media opportunities to enhance the establishment’s reputation.Monitor and manage the culinary budget, including food and labor costs, to ensure profitability without compromising on quality.Design and implement operational improvements in the kitchen to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance the overall dining experience.Establish and maintain relationships with other culinary professionals and institutions, fostering a network that can contribute to the restaurant’s innovation and growth.Lead culinary research and development projects to explore new cooking techniques, ingredients, and equipment that can elevate the restaurant’s menu and operational efficiency.
