J's Island Patio, Courtside Cafe, Street Pizza, What's Hot and Truly YoursOwner and Operator of all 5 businesses
Nov. 1997 - Jun. 2006FloridaDuring these years I owned and operated 3 different restaurants (Street Pizza, J, Island Patio, Courtside Café) and two different retail outlets (What‘s Hot, Truly Yours), which were all successful thriving businesses. The duties involved with being an operating owner of a restaurant or retail location include everything from cooking, serving and helping with the daily operations, but I also dealt with all of the behind the scenes inventory, ordering, food costs/cost of goods, book keeping, scheduling of employees, payroll and numerous other tasks. When I purchased or started these companies it was with the full intention of making them successful, profitable and equitable so they could be considered for future sale. All of the businesses listed here were sold for profit based upon the numbers and the good faith of evidently successful of the businesses.
