Popeyes Louisiana KitchenArea Support Manager
Sep. 2020 - Dec. 2023Pasadena, California, United StatesSupported operations across 4 to 5 stores depending on how many locations needed oversight at any one time, providing hands on leadership, training, and performance coaching to elevate team engagement and service standards. I cultivated a positive, energetic work culture by leading with empathy and enthusiasm. Especially during high impact events like Pride Day on Hollywood Blvd and extended 18-hour shifts. I spearheaded drive-thru service improvements, reducing average speed of service from over 360 seconds down to 155 seconds across multiple locations. Through amazing team work, we maintained brand standard scores at 90 or above, ensuring consistent excellence in cleanliness, hospitality, and operational compliance. I delivered targeted training programs that strengthened team performance and standardized best practices. I achieved inventory accuracy within 0.3% of company benchmarks through meticulous tracking and proactive loss prevention. It was my pleasure to act as a role model and motivator, bringing smiles and fun to every shift while driving measurable results in customer satisfaction and team morale.
