Summary
My husband and I ran a restaurant for almost 10years, I looked after all the marketing, booking keeping, accounting, renewal of contracts with providers, ordering of produce and stock, handling and rectifying customer complaints, organising functions such as Breast Cancer Fundraisers on Mothers Day, Blue Ribbon on Fathers Day, Christmas Appeals, Winter Appeals to benefit the community and also garnered the attention of local council, Kyle & Jackie'O and many other major business.
We also had a construction company in which I also did all the accounting, book keeping, ordering and scheduling.
I am a fast learner who is self motivated and always looking at better and quicker ways to do things.
