Hiring Manager
Summit
Dear Hiring Manager,
Running kitchens at OCS and WSCC has taught me how to balance high-volume service with uncompromising food quality. Each day, I ensure we meet the expectations of 1,200 diners while maintaining a five-star safety rating. Summit's commitment to seasonal, locally sourced menus aligns with my experience designing dishes that please both guests and nutrition standards.
At OCS I lead a team of ten cooks and dietary aides, coordinating lunch service for students and staff while keeping food costs at 27%. We rotate menus quarterly based on seasonal produce and student feedback, which keeps diners engaged and reduces waste.
Previously, I supervised a 12-person kitchen at WSCC where we maintained a five-star food safety rating and hosted events for up to 600 guests. I enjoy mentoring cooks through the fundamentals of food safety, inventory control, and creative menu planning.
I am drawn to Summit not only for its reputation but also for the opportunity to keep learning and growing as a culinary leader. I would bring the same blend of creativity and discipline that has served me well in school kitchens.
I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support Summit's kitchen. Thank you for considering my application; I look forward to speaking soon.
Sincerely,
Alex H.
