Work History

Restaurant Manager

Kabana Indian Cuisine
Hauraki, Auckland
08.2021 - Current

I manage the daily operations of the restaurant and make sure customers receive friendly, fast, and high-quality service. I supervise staff, create rosters, train new team members, and support both the front and kitchen teams during busy hours. I work with the chefs to maintain food quality, portion control, and consistency, and I monitor stock levels, place supplier orders, and reduce wastage.

I handle customer issues, manage takeaway and delivery orders, and ensure all food safety and hygiene standards are followed. I also look after cash-up, daily sales reports, and basic admin work. My focus is to keep the restaurant running smoothly, maintain high standards, and help grow the business through good service, and efficient operations.
