Hy-Vee, Inc.Manager of Perishables
Mar. 2010 - Feb. 2013Lincoln, Nebraska AreaI was the manager in charge of all Perishable departments in the store. Produce, Salad Bar, Bakery, Meat, Delicatessen, Eat In Kitchen, Chinese, Italian, Floral, and the fresh food process in the Fuel Center. My main duty and Manager of Perishables was to act as support and give leadership to departments who may have been struggling for any given reason at any given time and communicate the Director's department goals and expectations to them. I was in charge of making sure all fresh department employees adhered to the our company and store's guidelines when it came to Customer Service and Food Safety. I developed and implemented a store check list of food safety areas of concern to be completed daily and weekly to avoid negative marks when the Food Safely auditor and the State auditors made their visits. I developed and assisted the departments in all in store promotions and marketing tactics. All Holiday decoration and promotions went through me for the planning and placement of the displays and demonstrations. At month and year's end, I assisted in putting together all of the department's inventory as well as, with the help of the Store Operations Manager, put together the entire store's inventory to submit to the Director. If a department fell short of goals, I would walk through the process to ensure everything was accounted for or every short coming had a valid reason for not achieving the goal. I was acting manager in charge of the store in the Directors absence.
