Cook
Carlton,VIC
Summary
Dependable Cook with expertise preparing foods in fast-paced settings. Team-minded professional knowledgeable in food safety, attractive presentation and stock management. Efficient multitasker with talents in recipe management and development. Clear communicator with team-oriented focus and advanced skills to effectively work with cashiers and kitchen staff to review and prepare orders. It should be noted that despite not currently having a official qualification, I've been told repeatedly that I perform at a standard that is equivalent or otherwise exceeding that of a qualified and experienced chef.
